Trip to James Madison University and Shenandoah University

The transfer visit to JMU and SU took place on April 17th. Students arrived at 6:15 AM, signed in, filled out the Assumption of Risk, Off campus Code of Conduct and Medical release forms (and the JMU contact card). We left campus at 6:40 with 24 students. There were two late cancellations via email, one student over slept and one no show. We arrived at JMU at 9:15 AM for a campus tour and transfer presentation. The tour and presentation were great.  We were split into three groups and toured campus. One group even went to the bookstore and loaded up on JMU gear. Connie and I were very impresses with the campus and the tour.  We departed JMU at 11:45 after the transfer presentation and arrived at SU at 12:45.

When we arrived at SU we had lunch in the student dining hall. The food was great and we split into five tables with SU staff at each table to answer questions.   We then had a presentation and a tour. The students were split into three groups based on their major and toured campus. Very nice campus and tour guides.  We departed SU at 3:15 and arrived on campus at 5 PM.  The day was fantastic and students are already asking about a fall trip.  Connie and I are working on a trip for the fall to another section of Virginia.  Also, I’ve already had a student come in to see me today to discuss transfer to SU.
