Benefits

Site visits provide an excellent opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge and insight into the operations, programs, culture of other institutions or organizations. Additionally, site visits enhance the understanding of the broader landscape in which we operate through sharing JMU's culture, relaitonship building, generating new ideas for collaborations, funding sources, and programmatic initiatives.

Potential activities during the site visit are:

• Presentation and/or information on the company or organization and its culture
