School of Professional & Continuing Education News

Greetings from James Madison University's School of Professional & Continuing Education (SPCE)! I am honored to serve as SPCE's Interim Dean and Chair JMU's University Economic Development Council.

The work of SPCE could not be accomplished without the dedication, support, and talent of our partners. We look forward to identifying new and expanded opportunities to partner with you in the future. I encourage you to reach out to me or any of our staff with suggestions for future programming and partnership opportunities.

This edition of SPCE's newsletter Connections celebrates and introduces you to the newest members of SPCE and highlights some of our recent programming and events. I am grateful to lead such a talented group of individuals and look forward to highlighting all SPCE staff and programming in future editions.

Sincerely,

Nick
