Our mission is to educate and inspire people to address public issues and cultivate a just and inclusive democracy.
As a nonpartisan entity, JMU Civic emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge to make one a more informed participant in our democracy, skills to make one a more effective participant, and values that embrace pluralism, open-mindedness, empathy, respect, diversity and inclusion.
What JMU Civic Does:
- We build year-round voter education and engagement initiatives with students, faculty and staff.
- We integrate civic learning opportunities in courses and academic programs with faculty and departments across campus.
- We provide resources for students to learn about and discuss public issues in an academic environment, and to develop and implement plans for informed participation in civic life.
- We collaborate with JMU's Center for Assessment & Research Students to assess campus-wide civic learning
- We work alongside community, state and national partners on civic learning initiatives and events.
