We invite you to use this form to report the passing of an enrolled student, active faculty, or staff member. 

We use this information to ensure we recognize departed community members in a Remembrance Ceremony. Your contribution helps ensure we pay tribute to every cherished life. To keep the ceremony meaningful and manageable, we will honor current members of our university community, including enrolled undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students, active staff, and faculty. 

We understand that many others have had a profound influence on JMU, including retired staff, former students, alumni, volunteers, and donors. While they won’t be included in this ceremony, we deeply value their contributions.

We are accepting names for the 2026 Dukes Remembrance Day ceremony of affiliated individuals who passed away between March 1, 2025 and February 28, 2026.
