3) Construction is well underway and we are excited to welcome our first cohort this upcoming fall!

2) to explore the principles and practices of civic engagement. We designed this community for students passionate about public service, civic impact, and freedom of thought, combining academic learning with impactful experiences outside the classroom.

1) I was thrilled to tour our Alger Hall project—the first living learning community in the Commonwealth dedicated to civic leadership. The Civic Leadership Living Learning Community, with new home for @JMUCivic , will offer students a dynamic, hands-on environment…

It was a beautiful day on campus at @Georgetown. I was honored to join a brilliant group of civic scholars and practitioners to explore research on—and ultimately solutions to—affective polarization in our country and communities.

Our @JMU Dukes are 5-1 going into Homecoming week after a strong win over Louisiana. I am so proud of our student-athletes and the character they show each and every day (my son pictured).

Great win for @JMU !

We are tremendously grateful to Dr. Peter Levine for joining us to mark Constitution Day 2025 @JMU . We had a stimulating conversation on the role of civic life in democracy and higher education.

It's been incredible to see the progress of our Carrier Library project. I can't wait for students to be in this space with us!

I am immensely proud that *five* @JMU students were selected for this prestigious fellowship in Richmond. Developing civic leaders is core to our mission at JMU and critical to the health of our communities. whsv.com/2025/07/14/jmu…

@michaeltbenson I am very sorry for your loss, Mike. May his memory be a blessing during this challenging time.

We're terribly saddened by the passing of our big brother, Steve Benson. He was a prodigious talent but even better human being. The world saw his work in cartoons published all around the globe, but it was the cards and caricatures he did for friends & family that will be forever remembered & cherished. He even graciously provided the first-ever cover cartoon for the @CCUChanticleers alumni magazine back in fall 2021. #RIP Steve. We love you. azmirror.com/2025/07/08/pul…

A special thank you to @chucklwelch and his team at @AASCU for their hospitality this week in DC. Our team at @JMU joined nine other universities to explore best practices in creating a campus culture that values intellectual diversity and freedom of thought.
