The Morrison Bruce Center is proud to continue programming throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

To protect the health of our community, the majority of programming during Spring 2021 will be virtual.
We will update the website, advertise through JMU email, and contact past participants as we continue to finalize the spring schedule

Please feel free to reach out at morrisonbrucecenter@jmu.edu with any questions.
