What is it?

Looking for a way to expand your network at JMU? Register for one of this year's Secret Supper Club events! The guest list is a mystery. The location is a secret.

Secret Supper Club is Student Life's award winning dinner party aimed at increasing diverse student connections across campus. People interested in participating will register for a chance for them and a plus one to win seats at a dinner party. Dinner guests are selected at random a week before the event and the location is disclosed to them the day of. 

 2026 Events:

  1. September 30, 7:00-8:30pm. Registration closes on 9/23/26 at 11:55pm. This special Secret Supper Club engages JMU's international and domestic student populations to help create broad connections across campus.

How It Works
  1. Advertised event dates are open for registration until the designated closing date.  This is specific to each event date.
  2. Once the registration pool closes, students are randomly selected to attend and are notified of their selection - they are "invited" to attend Secret Supper Club.
  3. Invitations to attend require an RSVP to confirm that student's participation. Selected students will designate who their plus one is as well as any dietary restrictions or accessibility needs on the RSVP form.
  4. Once students confirm their RSVP, they are set to participate!
  5. On the day of the event, all invited students will receive an email to their @dukes.jmu.edu account disclosing the location of the event.
  6. You'll discover who else is on the guest list when you show up to the dinner!
  7. Discussion cards are provided at the dinner to help break the ice, but students are encouraged to let natural conversations lead the way!
