The James Madison University men's basketball team just became the
first #16 seed to knock off a #1 seed in the history of the NCAA tournament.
While the university is extremely proud of our team and their accomplishment
today, doing hard things and changing the course of history is exactly what we
set out to do here at JMU. Equipped with the power that knowledge gives,
JMU students, faculty and alumni work toward a brighter future in
nearly every sector of global society.
We expand the world's knowledge through innovative and
cutting-edge research, widely available to our undergraduates.
We devise new ways to generate prosperity. We help those
struggling with disease, poverty, handicaps or lack of opportunity through
science, education and service.
With the mentoring of faculty whose first love is teaching, we
help students fulfill their destinies. JMU offers each student a future
of significance — not an education of mere prestige, but an extraordinary
education of exceptional scholarship, inventive thinking, unparalleled
attention to the world community, a university-wide enthusiasm
for teaching, and a commitment to student success.
