Greetings, JMU Family!
We hope you are doing well and thinking positively. As we welcome JMU students back to campus with classes beginning on Wednesday this week, we want to reiterate that the public health and well-being of our students, faculty and staff are our top considerations.

We want to provide you with a one-stop shop of the various measures the university is taking to reopen safely. Watch these Stop the Spread videos outlining several things you need to know and to do.
