In keeping with its mission to produce educated and enlightened citizens, JMU created the Presidential Engagement Fellows Program in 2016. Through this program, outstanding recent JMU graduates will have the opportunity to experience a transformational year of leadership development in a higher education setting. The Presidential Engagement Fellows program is a 10-month cohort based program. Successful candidates will receive a living and housing stipend. Fellows are placed within JMU offices, where they work on projects designed to advance their understanding of the field of higher education and develop their personal and professional leadership skills.
