EAD - or Employee Appreciation Day - is a day dedicated to celebrate and appreciate the employees of JMU.  This year, that day is Thursday, May 22 located at the Bridgeforth Stadium. 

Please use Gates A or C to enter!

EAD is a day full of activities that is designed to encourage employees to get out of the office and into some fun! 

Some activities this year consist of a photo booth, Team Trivia, and Therapy Dog Station. 

And games galore - large games, inflatables, corn hole, volleyball, basketball, and football.

EAD is open to all full- and part-time faculty and staff of JMU and its affiliates.

While we invite and encourage all employees and their supervisors to attend at least one event on EAD, please check with your supervisor beforehand to determine your level of participation. 

Please keep checking the website for more information as EAD approaches.

The planning committee is working diligently to provide as many opportunities for learning and fun as we can.  

Some events require that employees register in MyMadison prior to attending. 

Once events are finalized, their descriptions, information, and registration requirements will be available.

Many events, like lunch and games on the field, do not require registration.

EAD events are reserved for full- and part-time employees of JMU and its affiliates only. 

HOWEVER, you are welcome to bring members of your family to the nighttime showing of the movie.

EAD committee members reach out to and voluntarily collect donations from local businesses and JMU departments.  Each donation is valued from $5 to $99 (per tax regulations on prizes, each donation cannot exceed $100).  

You can join the EAD Committee or you can volunteer a hour or so of your time on EAD.  We'd love to hear from you!  jmuad@jmu.edu
