BE A STAR!

Our long awaited film interview with each emeriti association member will take place this semester. With the assistance of JMU Division of University Advancement staff, tentative plans have been made to schedule an approximately forty-five minute interview on camera with each faculty member; editing will occur later. Interviews will be placed on the JMU website to be accessed by alumni and others who wish to know about us and our experiences at JMU.

Catherine Holmes of the Office of Madison Institutes will schedule appointments for taping these interviews. Be ready to respond positively to Catherine when she contacts you.
