Winter 2006 Madison
Just write
The place to express yourself
Your second issue of Madison has some exciting stories to tell. Features introduce you to Liza Wright ('92) and Meg Hauck ('95), JMU's alumni in the White House, and explore the university's English as a Second Language Program. There's also a special section -- the Madison Century Honor Roll of Donors. Starting after Page 71 is news about charitable giving to JMU this year and those of you who have made gifts of $250 or more to the university.
The magazine staff is happy to report a positive response to the first issue of Madison. Your feedback came in the form of e-mail, letters, phone calls and word of mouth. You'll find a cross section of those sentiments on these pages, and we'll keep publishing more in future issues as we hear from you.
Madison is here to tell your stories, and we especially encourage you to write those stories. By sharing your perspective with others, you're helping to enhance the Madison Experience.
For instance, as Elizabeth Wilson Gauldin ('50) shows in her perspective on the hurricanes Katrina and Rita on Page 57, Transformations is a place for you to share an intellectually or spiritually transforming experience that might enlighten others.
As you can see by reading a JMU nursing student's chronicle of her and fellow students relief work in Mississippi, One World on Page 55 offers you an opportunity to show the value of service-learning in action.
We invite you too to reflect on your college days. As Fred Hilton's story about the first football team demonstrates, My Madison on Page 63 is the place for your JMU memories, friendships and continuing JMU ties.
Please explore these other ways you can connect through Madison: 22807, Professors You Love, Mixed Media, Real Life, chapter stories and class notes.
If you'd like to share a story, please get in touch with the magazine staff so we can talk about your idea. Naturally, we'll be selective, but we especially encourage stories of professional and personal achievement, service and transformation. If you think you can't write, don't worry. The staff can help you with that.
And, of course, good old-fashioned story tips are always welcome.
