Founded in 1908, James Madison University is a public university located in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. JMU is fast becoming one of the nation’s leading lights in higher education because students enjoy engaged relationships with world-class faculty who are here because they want to pursue knowledge and make teaching their number 1 priority.
JMU has a proud tradition of holding doors for each other. Students, faculty, staff, and all members of the community will literally hold a door on campus for the next person entering or exiting a building. It is a special tradition to all of us in the community!
