Madison Awards

The University strives to promote the success of faculty and staff who contribute and support the University through their daily interactions, research, and commitment to JMU. In support of the Governor's Award program, JMU has established the Madison Awards to recognize the contributions to the University made by full-time faculty and staff.

We are pleased to announce the 2007 Madison Awards recipients. The recipients received recognition at the Faculty and Staff Service Awards ceremonies and a certificate commemorating the award.
