Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Alumni,

We are hoping to honor the legacy of Jim Hammond, former Program Director, who recently passed away. In keeping with Jim’s dedication to education and mentorship, a scholarship fund has been established in his name. This fund aims to support future JMU PA students who reflect the same commitment and passion that defined Jim’s career.

We invite you to consider contributing to this scholarship fund using the link below. Gifts of any size will help ensure that Jim’s legacy continues to shape and inspire generations to come. If a specific threshold is reached, we may even be able to turn this into a reoccurring annual endowment.

Thank you for considering! -The JMU PA Program

We were so pleased to celebrate the retirement of Sharon Maiewski last weekend!

Though it is well deserved, she will be missed tremendously!
