August is an exciting time at JMU and we are excited to welcome our newest dukes to campus and the community. Weeks of Welcome is a program designed to help students get acclimated to campus, learn all about the resources available to support their success, and connect with other new students, faculty, staff, and administrators. There will be a variety of mandatory educational programs and optional social programs throughout the first few weeks of the semester. An overview of what to expect is below, and the full schedule is now available on the JMU BeInvolved app. The JMU BeInvolved app is available in both the Apple Store and Google Play Store.
Transfer Weeks of Welcome will begin Monday, August 18, at 9:00am with our Transfer Student Check-In at the Festival Conference and Student Center. Transfer students should plan to attend all required events on Monday and Tuesday. In the BeInvolved app you are able to view both all events and required events.
