Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain will be at Liberty University this weekend.

Officials at the private Christian university tell The News & Advance that Cain will appear at a two-hour signing of copies of his autobiography at the university bookstore Saturday.

He will be the third 2012 presidential candidate to visit Liberty this year. Rick Perry spoke to students on Sept. 14, and Michele Bachmann was there Sept. 28.

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin also is scheduled to be at a private women's conference Saturday at Liberty. It's her first visit to the school.
