The CMSS Multicultural Attachés promote diversity awareness throughout the JMU community by encouraging the transitioning student body to embrace multiculturalism. The program places special emphasis on assisting and supporting first year multicultural students who are adjusting to life at James Madison University. A team of ten Attachés work to reach out to five residence halls to plan and promote diversity programs within each hall. Programs and events increase learning and exposure to a variety of cultures with the goal of creating opportunities for open dialogue about cultural and ethnic heritage.
Attachés are here to assist you in locating organizations of interest, discussing your cultural background, guiding you in how to establish a group of friends on campus or simply sharing a meal with you.
