SERVING THE COMMUNITY Community engagement is one of the many ways you get real-world practice for skills you learn in the classroom.
You will have unlimited opportunities to make a difference. Internships. Community service. Research. Endless choices to promote the greater good. Serving the community—especially one as remarkably diverse as the greater Harrisonburg community—is a significant passion for many JMU students and faculty. The growth you’ll experience from this will set you up for the rest of your life. We care about serving the community because it is a crucial part of being an engaged citizen of the world.
