Welcome Letter from Assistant Dean

Dear Madisonians and James Madison College Community,

On behalf of JMC’s Office of Justice, Equity and Inclusion, welcome! Please take time to peruse our website and learn more about our team and the office’s mission and goals to advance justice, equity and inclusion within JMC and beyond.

Undoubtedly, the academic rigor you receive at JMC will be unmatched; however, we equally value and strive to create a space and climate in which you feel free to learn, engage, question and thrive. The quality of your JMC experience matters to us, and we are committed to ensuring that you feel supported, valued and heard. Programming, workshops, advocacy, allyship, and insight into diversity, equity and inclusion best practices are just a few ways our office supports the college.

Our team is never too busy to assist you, and I urge you to utilize the resources and opportunities that our office provides. At any time, feel free to schedule an appointment with me or any member of the OJEI team.

Again, welcome. Whether you are a student, faculty or staff member, alumni, or just interested in learning more about JMC, you play an important role in the success of our climate, and we look forward to assisting you however we can.

Go Green!
