International Network of Universities
Executive Committee Meeting
James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia
April 4-6, 2005
Welcome to James Madison University!
 The Office of International Programs staff members and I would like to welcome you to JMU and the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia. This spring's INU Executive Committee meeting is a wonderful opportunity to introduce you to our campus community as well as the history and culture of the region. In conjunction with the Executive Committee meeting, the Office of International Programs will host workshops focusing on the assessment of teaching and learning outcomes, branding and marketing, and the enhancement of the student experience, and present opportunities for joint "international learning" assessment projects.
As you begin to plan your journey to Virginia, please refer to the links below, which will direct you to the online registration form, a tentative schedule of events, additional information about James Madison University, and a letter of invitation for acquiring visas to the United States (if needed).
If you require additional information or need assistance in making your travel arrangements, please don't hesitate to contact Mr. Daniel Hale, Outreach and Program Development Coordinator at haledc@jmu.edu.
I look forward to welcoming you to JMU in April.
