Supporting the educators who shape the JMU experience
“I teach so that I can help people do things they never thought they could do. To make the impossible possible. And with the kind of students we have at JMU, that happens every day.”
— Dr. Bob Kolvoord
At many universities, undergraduates get lost in the shuffle. Not at James Madison University.
Our faculty members are deeply invested in the success of their students. They teach in the classroom, mentor students one-on-one, involve undergraduates in research, and create transformative learning experiences that extend far beyond campus.
To sustain this level of excellence, JMU is committed to supporting faculty at every stage of their careers—from the moment they arrive through every phase of their academic journey.
Your gift to the Faculty Success Fund helps:
-
Encourage innovative teaching practices
Support faculty professional growth
-
Enhance the classroom experience for JMU students
