President King joins area college presidents for Chamber event

JMU Interim President Charlie King joined presidents from Bridgewater College, Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) and Blue Ridge Community College to provide updates to a forum hosted by EMU and the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce.  

The forum offered the presidents an opportunity to discuss campus updates at the start of the new school year and reflect on challenges such as staffing shortages, workforce development and the lingering impact of COVID-19 on student preparedness for college. 

In addition to King, updates were provided by Dr. Susan Schultz Huxman, president of EMU; Dr. David Bushman, president of Bridgewater College and Dr. John Downey, president of BRCC.
