Middle Georgia State University (MGA) is highlighting Flannery O’Connor’s impact on the region with a celebration of what would have been the author’s 100th birthday.
Dr. Monica Miller, associate professor of English, is the lead organizer of the March 24-26 festival, which includes a number of events hosted by the Department of English, the student English Studies Organization, MGA Library, and the Writing Center.
The three-day event will have activities on the Macon, Cochran, and Dublin campuses. For this, Miller has collaborated with other MGA departments and organizations, which will host different discussions about O’Connor, her life, fashion, and literature. The Tuesday, March 25, events scheduled to be held at the Macon Campus library are open to the public, in addition to the MGA community.
