"Have faith that your friends, your families, your education and the glow from each of your individual hearts
have prepared you well to burn brightly against the darkness of this world."
--
David Mills, SGA President, A Time for Caring Service, Sept. 16

The events of Sept. 11 in New York City, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., areas, have profoundly affected us all as Americans and as members of the James Madison University family. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been directly affected by this tragedy. The JMU Alumni Association invites and encourages you to post messages to let the JMU community know how you are, offer support, and to share information about alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends. Postings can be made online through our web form or via e-mail. See below. If you prefer, please contact the Alumni Association directly to provide information about alumni who are among this tragedy's victims and heroes by calling toll free 888-JMU-ALUM.
