SETTING THE GOLD STANDARD Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence by ramping up our competitiveness
“College is out of reach for many of our brightest students. So I think it is important to be part of this. When
you find something that you’re passionate about, something that is heartfelt, then you give to it. For me, that’s JMU. You just do it. ”
