The JMU ArtsMobile had a fantastic outing at Arts Council of the Valley’s “Second Saturdays” on September 12! Over 24 participants created art in response to prompts on the theme “Our Community, Our Colors.” OCP’s Presidential Engagement Fellow, Ver Ikeseh, made it all happen. Great job, Ver! #jmu #jamesmadisonuniversity #jmuocp #harrisonburgvirginia #artscommunity taken in Downtown Harrisonburg by @jmuocp

We were absolutely delighted to welcome MAC alumna and new assistant professor of anthropology, Dr Taylor Callaway, to our workroom yesterday! The students in Dr Callaway’s North American Civilisation class looked closely at a selection of lithic tools in our collection, drawing each one closely to learn how stone tools were made. taken in Office of Creative Propulsion - JMU by @jmuocp
