Empowering the Madison Experience

In honor of the inauguration* of James C. Schmidt as JMU's seventh president, and with a salute to the university's new strategic plan through 2040, we introduce the Madison Promise Fund.

  • The Madison Promise is our commitment to every Duke: an educational experience that positions students to succeed in their lives and careers.
  • The Madison Promise Fund equips President Jim to strengthen our unparalleled Madison Experience across JMU.

A gift to the fund is a gift to the whole university, advancing student opportunity and academic excellence wherever it is needed most.

Give to the Madison Promise Fund.


*You are invited to the installation ceremony on April 8! For more information, see jmu.edu/inauguration.
