JMU Student Affairs

Bring your energy and own your purpose every day! Here are the ten rules from the Energy Bus written by Jon Gordon. 🚍 1 You’re the Driver of the Bus — Take complete responsibility for your life and your choices. 🚎 2 Desire, Vision, and Focus move your bus in the right direction — Clearly define where you want to go. 🚍3 Fuel your Ride with Positive Energy — Cultivate a positive mindset to power through daily challenges. 🚌 4 Invite People on Your Bus and Share your Vision for the Road Ahead — Rally others to join your journey. 🚐 5 Don’t Waste Your Energy on those who don’t get on your Bus — Do not stress over the people who refuse to buy into your goals. 🚎 6 Post a Sign that says “No Energy Vampires Allowed” on your Bus — Eliminate and filter out chronic negativity from your environment. 🚐7 Enthusiasm attracts more Passengers and Energizes them during the Ride — Passion and excitement are highly contagious. 🚍 8 Love your Passengers — Care genuinely for your team members to bring out their absolute best. 🚌 9 Drive with Purpose — Anchor your daily work to a deeper, meaningful mission. 🚎10 Have Fun and Enjoy the Ride — Remember that life is a journey, not just a final destination

You can go home again! As I start my 9th year I wanted to say hello from campus and debunk the saying that you can’t go home again! I came back to JMU after 18 years away and have loved being part of this community again. Remember that you are always welcome back home here at JMU and I hope all of you are having a great summer! See some of you again in a few months and four graduates, congratulations again and good luck in this next chapter of your life! Go Dukes!

Garden tour part 2! Lots more planted and I already have some asparagus coming up and thought I would show you around! Enjoy and look for a couple more videos later this summer once I have some fruits and vegetables to show! Thanks to for the peanuts that will hopefully show up in the next few weeks! Also, thanks to for a great experience at training last week!!

Happy Last Day Of Finals JMU! Seniors I sent you a Farewell and Good Luck message yesterday at 2pm. Please take a few minutes and give it a read. Good luck to all our graduates, enjoy the next few days, and remember you will always have a home here at JMU! Go Dukes and Go Class of 2026!
