RECAP OF CAP'S 2ND ANNUAL
EMPLOYER DRIVE IN CONFERENCE Thanks to everyone who attended the 2016 conference this past August! Attendees heard from a student panel (shown above), faculty presenters, the Associate Vice President of Constituent Relations Cannie Campbell, and the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Jim McConnel during this unique and exclusive event at JMU. Employers gained valuable insight on building their brand and utilizing successful recruiting strategies at JMU from these valuable contacts .
Employer Participant Quotes: "My favorite part of the conference was the breakout sessions where we learned more specifically how to engage students of a particular college." "One thing I learned was to focus on student skills rather than their specific major." "It gave us great ideas for events to participate in as well as connecting us with the right people to help us reach our recruiting goals." "The Student Panel was extremely informative. It is important for employers to hear directly from the students about how to attract and communicate with them."

The JMU MBA is designed with YOU in mind. Exceptional Value We offer opportunities that are not typically associated with a part time MBA program. For example, all students have the opportunity to participate in a week-long international residency in an exciting location such as China, India, or South Africa, all costs of which, other than airfare, are included in tuition. In addition, students choose one of three different MBA program which focus on either innovation, leadership, or information security. Tuition is also very reasonable, particularly for a program that has been consistently ranked among the best in the nation. These are just a few of the reasons that the JMU MBA is known for its exceptionally high ROI.
