My First Year, and So Grateful
News
Dear JMU faculty and staff,
As I reflect on my first year as president of James Madison University, I am filled with immense gratitude. This video offers a glimpse into many of the special moments, people, and experiences that have made this year so meaningful—from meeting students and their families, to celebrating the achievements of our faculty and staff, to witnessing the extraordinary spirit that defines our university community. While these images capture some remarkable memories, they tell a much larger story: one of your dedication, talent, and unwavering commitment to our mission here at JMU.
Thank you for welcoming my family so warmly, for sharing your perspectives, and for the passion and care you bring to JMU each day. It has been an incredible privilege to learn alongside you during this first year, one I will never forget. I can’t wait to see what year two brings.
Go Dukes!
President Jim
