Idea Forums are open to all JMU faculty, staff, and students interested in shaping the university’s future. These 90-minute, facilitated sessions are designed to spark ideas that will inform the development of JMU’s next strategic plan. Each forum will be led by President Jim and the strategic plan co-chairs, offering a unique opportunity for the campus community to engage directly with the new president in exploring how JMU can build on its momentum and contribute meaningful solutions to challenges at the local, state, and national levels.
