JMURJ Faculty Review Board members are JMURJ's first resource when a new submission is ready for review. Faculty Review Board membership is based on faculty interest and JMURJ need. We need you; are you interested? Faculty Review Board members typically receive no more than two submissions for review each semester. Write to jmurj@jmu.edu.
