• "JMU's University Career Center team and advisors are truly dedicated to and passionate about their students, and I got to see that first hand at the conference."
• " I walked away with a better understanding of JMU students and new ways to connect with them on campus."
• "All of the speakers and presentations were extremely engaging and interesting."
• "We met some great leaders there at JMU and saw the spectacular career services facilities. We were made to feel very welcome by the career services staff and professors that attended."
• " I would definitely attend again."
