Signature Events

The Paynter Lecture on the Theory and Practice of Politics

James Madison College celebrates the life of founding faculty member Jack Paynter annually with the Jack Paynter Endowed Lecture, funded generously by gifts from former students, friends, family, and colleagues. The Paynter lecture brings renowned speakers to James Madison College to discuss historical, philosophical, social, legal, and political subjects in the spirit of Jack's career and intellectual curiosity. Learn more about Professor Paynter's legacy here.

Parade of Honors

For over thirty years, JMC has hosted Parade of Honors as an annual banquet to recognize students for their various academic and service achievements throughout the year. While the event has evolved since it's inception, the purpose is to honor students who have received scholarships or awards either at the College, University, or Nationally.

Research Showcase

As the next generation of practitioners, policy makers, scholars, and leaders in public and international affairs, JMC seniors are invited to present their scholarly work at the annual JMC Research Showcase. Since 2013, the showcase features panels and presentations that highlight the research-based achievements of Madison students.
