Jacksonville State Founders Day Connects The Past While Building Bright Futures
By LaTrevia M. Watters
Attending college is one of the most valuable investments anyone can make over his or her lifetime.
Jacksonville State University (JSU), which was established Feb. 22, 1883, continues to give students from across Alabama, other states and abroad the opportunity to follow their dreams. JSU celebrates milestones with students during its Founders Day Luncheon, which takes place each year in late February or early March. This year’s luncheon is today, March 9.
At the luncheon, scholarship donors and the recipients of those scholarships have a chance to assemble and get to know a little bit about each other. Scholarship recipients take this opportunity to express how receiving their scholarship has affected their lives and vision for the future.Dr. Charles R. Lewis, vice president for University Advancement, said that when students make their impact statements about how their scholarship has helped them follow their dreams, “there is not a dry eye in the room.”
