What is Dukes Weekly?
Dukes Weekly is a weekly email that goes out every Monday at 1 p.m. to all JMU students. Replacing bulk emails sent to “All Students” from JMU departments and student organizations, Dukes Weekly contains information about the upcoming week’s events, important announcements and deadlines, job/volunteer opportunities, etc. while reducing the number of emails that students receive.
It has been a reliable provider of information to JMU students since fall of 2019, and beginning with spring semester 2026 the majority of bulk email requests will be fulfilled through inclusion in Dukes Weekly. There will be limited exceptions for mission-critical messages.
Content submissions are due by the end of the day on the Monday one week prior to the Monday send date. All submissions must come from a recognized JMU club, organization or department, and a link for more information is required for each one.
If you have any questions or comments, please email dukesweekly@jmu.edu.
