Video series highlights Madison student perspectives

As a high school student in Dubai, Aaron had never heard of James Madison College. It wasn't until midway through his first year at MSU that he discovered the small residential college specializing in public policy and international affairs. "As soon I stepped into Case Hall, I fell in love with JMC," he describes.

Aaron is one of six current students featured in the college's new JMC Student Stories series, where students discuss their journeys to JMC, their experiences at the college and what they're hoping to do after graduation.
