Our goal is to keep students safe on their 21st Birthday by inviting them to have a brief conversation with one of our 21st Birthday program facilitators. Students are invited to share their plans for this milestone birthday and then empowered to think about their expectations, potential risks, and personal strategies to minimize risk.

Thanks to a generous donation from the JMU Bookstore, students who participate may select one item from a variety of JMU branded apparel and accessories.

The program only takes about 10 minutes, and can be completed in-person or online!

During the fall and spring semesters, students receive an email from Well Dukes, inviting them to participate in the 21st Birthday program. Students with summer birthdays are invited during the final weeks of the spring semester.  

Students can choose to either schedule an in-person appointment with one of our team members or complete the online module. Instructions for both options are included in the email.  

If you have questions about the 21st Birthday program, or if you would like to request a specific day or time due to scheduling conflicts, please email welldukes@jmu.edu. We will arrange a convenient time for you to participate.
