New Report: The Economic Impact of JMU on the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County Community

New Report: Factors Associated with Non-Returning JMU Students

Picture It! JMU:  OIR recruited 18 new first-time students to participate in a year-long project to document their first-year experience through photography and blogging. The objective is to learn about the first-year experience through their eyes. What are the most significant people and events in their experience? What about JMU works well for them? What does not? By May we plan to have a website devoted to their photos and comments about JMU. More to come.
