Madison's enduring tradition

Caring. Giving. Making a difference. That's JMU's "Be the Change" spirit, reflected in countless ways for more than 100 years. Annual donations from alumni, parents, employees, students and friends make great things happen at Madison. And when Dukes learned that current JMU students were at risk of dropping out due to the financial crisis, they continued the tradition. More than 3,000 alumni and friends gave to Madison For Keeps, an emergency student aid initiative, that has helped dozens of JMU students stay at Madison. Learn more.
