JMU Dining is proud to be named #3 for Best Campus Food by The Princeton Review!

We've been serving up award-winning food for 25 years, and this recognition makes this milestone even more meaningful.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible Dukes community for sharing the love and helping us earn this honor.

Every meal, every gathering, and every recommendation helped make this achievement possible. Here's to more great food, great company, and great memories!

Hey, we know that guy! Good job, Adam.

Adam Cristman, PA‑C, recently spoke with students in the physician assistant (PA) program at Randolph‑Macon, sharing an in‑depth look at shoulder anatomy and the common shoulder issues he treats at OrthoVirginia's Hanover Memorial office in the Richmond area. OrthoVirginia is proud of its team members investing in future PAs and bringing orthopedic knowledge to our communities.
