First of all, we are pleased to announce Bluegrass on the Rim 2021 will air this Saturday at 7 pm on Alabama Public Television. Check out this 30 second promo on our Facebook page and please share!
On a low note, COVID cases and hospitalizations continue to surge in our area and in a effort to control the spread JSU now requires masks in all JSU buildings. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.
Additionally, we are encouraging all eligible candidates to get vaccinated, as directed by their doctor, to protect our campus and community. We want to keep our doors open and most importantly, we want to keep our guests, volunteers, students and employees safe.
