Weeks of Welcome COMPLETE BY AUG. 15 Weeks of Welcome is designed to introduce you to the Madison culture and help you ease into your first semester. You will participate in a variety of educational and social programs to familiarize yourself with JMU’s academic expectations and campus resources, reconnect with your OPA and meet other JMU students. Weeks of Welcome starts the evening you move-in and runs through mid-September. When will I meet my FROG group?

First-year commuter students will check-in and be introduced to their FROG group on Saturday, Aug. 16.
