First-Year Send Offs
Each summer, JMU Parents Council and the Office of Family Engagement team up to host First-Year Send Offs. These events provide a great opportunity for new students and their parents/guardians to meet fellow Duke Families in their geographic area and ask any last-minute questions prior to move-in. Each event is approximately two hours consisting of a meal, a program, Q&A opportunities and a bag full of JMU goodies.
Stay tuned for dates and locations to be announced Spring 2025!
