The city of Harrisonburg is making plans to lease Harrisonburg High School to JMU for $7.5 million over five years.

Virginia legislature recently approved JMU’s $40 million purchase of Rockingham Memorial Hospital (RMH), which will be used to expand the university’s instructional space.

JMU welcomed the first students into its Centennial Scholars Program this past fall, which is aimed at helping qualified and deserving applicants pay for their college tuition.

The Communication Studies Resource Center offers assistance to students of all majors in speech preparation and will be holding a speech competition for GCOM students in April.
