Off-Campus Life is happy to host our "Adulting After College" transition seminar series. These conversations focus on topics relevant to JMU students as they prepare to transition away from the university.

We hope these talks answer questions, help you feel prepared to take the next steps toward achieving certain life goals after college, and promote a successful transition as you embark on your new journey!

While these conversations are aimed at graduating seniors and recent graduates, all students are welcome and encouraged to attend!
