Strengthen civic learning and dialogue
JMU will emerge as a national leader in civic learning and dialogue, helping students understand public issues, engage across differences and contribute to the common good. Building on the Madison Center for Civic Engagement and programs such as 'Better Conversations Together,' the university will expand opportunities to listen deeply, deliberate thoughtfully and participate constructively in civic life — preparing graduates to lead with curiosity, civility and purpose.
