As a part of the year-long UConnect Faculty and Staff Orienation Program, Human Resources hosts a special event for new faculty and staff called Connections Day. A little more than a half-day event, Connections Day allows new employees to learn about the mission and culture of JMU, discover the plenteous perks available, and network with peers and presenters early on in their JMU journey. Connections Day is the foundational orientation event for new hires’ success at JMU.
