Summer Springboard

This one-day program in June or July is designed to get you ready for your arrival on campus in August. This day is full of opportunities for you and your family to discover everything that JMU offers.
Make your Springboard reservation via your One Book steps. We will be offering both in-person sessions and a virtual option this year.

Students will join other new students to:
- Meet your academic advisor
- Get the inside scoop from OPAs (Orientation Peer Advisers)
- Prepare for your new life at JMU
Guests will:
- Discover more about student services and resources
- Get answers to key questions
For virtual Springboard, plan to be connected with us from noon to 5 p.m.
