HARRISONBURG — The Office of Judicial Affairs at James Madison University has received an award from the American College Personnel Association (ACPA) for its civic responsibility program.

The ACPA Emerging Best Practice in Student Affairs Assessment award recognizes the JMU program, which is used as a sanction for students who have violated policies that affect their community, according to Dr. Josh Bacon, director of judicial affairs. Through discussions, readings and other interactive activities, students examine the concepts of character, citizenship and community.

Bacon will accept the award March 31 at the ACPA/National Association of Student Personnel Administrators Joint Meeting in Orlando, Fla. Dr. Sara J. Finney, assistant assessment specialist, and Peter Swerdzewski, graduate assistant for program assessment support services, both from JMU's Center for Assessment and Research, join Bacon as the award recipients.
