Welcome to the Office of Diversity home page.  We are glad that you stopped to visit our site. 

Our intent is to provide resources, programs, support and advocacy to the lives of all within the JMU community, but especially those of under-represented populations.  We strive to make and maintain an inclusive environment at JMU.  This effort is not the undertaking of a few, but takes the entire engagement of the university community. 

As you navigate our site you will see programs designed for Faculty, Staff and Students.  JMU has maintained a strong commitment to diversity, which is evident by our faculty and staff resources and the strong student experience available to our undergraduates.   

Please let us know if we can be of assistance.  We appreciate your feedback and commitment. 

Sincerely,

Dr. David Owusu-Ansah and Mr. Arthur Dean
Special Assistants for Diversity
(Faculty, Staff and Students)
