Overview

The Professor-in-Residence program's goal is to promote James Madison University as a culturally diverse university. The professors in the program all take time out of their schedules to go to Virginia high schools to promote JMU. The professors spend most of their time helping high school students realize that a college education is within their reach. Many students are under false belief that only certain individuals are capable of attaining a college degree. The program will help these students understand how they can become a future college graduate. You can view the topics link to see what issues will be discussed during these presentations. The Professor-in-Residence program is part of the Centennial Strategic Plan developed by the presidential committee.
