Dear Conference Attendees,

Welcome to Shawnee State University! We are very excited and honored to host the 32nd annual Appalachian Studies Association Conference. We are extremely proud of our Appalachian heritage and culture in this region. Hosting this event gives us an excellent opportunity to showcase our campus, the quaintness of the Boneyfiddle area and our county, as well as the hospitality of our residents, business owners and civic leaders.

Many of our faculty, staff, students and community members are presenting at this conference. They will be making presentations on Appalachian poetry, literature, woodworking, music and more. We are proud of them and know you will learn much from them.

Please enjoy your time while attending the conference at Shawnee State University and your visit to the Scioto County area.

Sincerely,

Rita Rice Morris President Fred Deel, Director Shawnee State University Lou Gentile, Assistant Director

Welcome to Ohio!

On behalf of Governor Ted Strickland and the Governor’s Office of Appalachia I welcome you to Portsmouth, Ohio. This is the first time that the Appalachian Ohio region has hosted the Appalachian Studies Association conference and we are delighted to have you.

We hope you have a chance to view the historical murals that tell the story of this Appalachian city and experience the charm of Portsmouth. As an Appalachian myself, I believe Portsmouth is a fine example of the patchwork of art and culture that defines Appalachia.

During your time here I hope you are able to strengthen your commitments to the fabric of Appalachian culture. The arts, music, and crafts of the Appalachian culture in so many ways define the region and offer a glimpse of the promise that it holds.

Sincerely,
