Weeks of Welcome
AUG. 18
COMPLETE BY
This is officially the beginning of your JMU experience… you’ll be moving into your residence hall, reconnecting with your academic advisor, meeting your First yeaR Orientation Guide (FROG) and Resident Adviser while immersing yourself in academic and social programs to help you become acclimated to campus. Once you move in to the residence hall, you are expected to be on campus and participate in Weeks of Welcome. Here’s an idea of what is expected of you: ◆ Attend and actively participate in mandatory pro- grams including We are JMU and Stop the Haze ◆ Meet with your academic advisor to prepare for the start of classes ◆ Engage with your peers to start making connections and explore opportunities to get involved. Download the JMU Be Involved app to view the full schedule of events. How will I meet my FROG group? Your FROG group will be made up of students who live in your residence hall, or one nearby. You will meet your FROGs on the same night you move in.

Dukes First Year The Dukes First Year Peer Mentor program is designed to provide individualized support for new students who will be paired with an upper-class mentor that will aid in their transition to JMU. The program focuses on building a strong connection with your mentor and becoming accli- mated to the campus community. This experience can be tailored to meet individual needs, but will aim to connect students to various campus resources that will support your academics, promote health and well-being, and help students find their place in the JMU community.
