SMAD Day

SMAD Day is a career day extravaganza that features panels and workshops with SMAD alumni and is usually tied to JMU's Homecoming weekend. The event encourages student to build relationships and help them find valuable internships and prospective job opportunities. Dozens of alumni also volunteer to review student résumés.

If you're interested in serving as an alumni panelist or résumé reviewer, contact smadday@jmu.edu.

 

SMAD Connect

The SMAD Connect initiative identifies both SMAD alumni and non-alumni media professionals who can provide career advice to current students. Events are typically scheduled on Fridays during the fall and spring semesters.  Guest speakers are invited to speak in classes and participate in SMAD sponsored events and organizations.

For more information about participating in a SMAD Connect event, email Rusty Greene at greenerp@jmu.edu

SMAD Awards Banquet

Each April, SMAD donors, alumni and faculty honor the top graduating seniors in each concentration and award dozens of scholarships to deserving students.
