Same JMU THIRD THURSDAY Tradition -- NEW LOCATIONS!

Given that our tradition of having JMU alumni happy hours EVERY third Thursday is nearly 5 years old, we figured it's time to switch things up a little. While much is still the same --start time is 6:00, JMU ladies are lookers, and single guys are in high demand -- both the Virginia Beach and Norfolk locations are new! JMU people can always be counted on to be fun and friendly so why not come out and join us

October 16, Gordon Biersch , Town Center, VA Beach (extended happy hour specials for JMU alumni).

November 20, Bobbywood on Monticello Avenue in downtown Norfolk.
