A proud Duke, Jerilyn Monts graduated from James Madison University in 2006 with a B.S. in Integrated Science and Technology and has remained closely connected to the university ever since. She enjoys being part of the JMU community through alumni events, cheering on the Dukes at sporting events, and attending musicals and performances at the Forbes Center for the Performing Arts.

Jerilyn brings professional experience in consulting, finance, and process improvement, but what she values most is contributing to a community that shaped her both personally and professionally. Outside of JMU, she loves live music, spending time outdoors, and relaxing with her dog, Charley.
