After a year of uncertainties, JMU found a way for incoming freshmen to get to know the campus in a COVID-19-friendly way. The universityâs class of 2025 will have the opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt thatâll help them get acquainted with JMUâs buildings and landmarks.
Since thereâs a 10-person limit to guided tours, the Office of Admissions decided to implement a safe yet fun activity for incoming students to get to know JMU. Abby Stott, assistant director of the Office of Admissions, said the board juggled a few ideas on how incoming freshmen can learn about JMUâs campus, but they ultimately settled on the scavenger hunt in the fall of 2020.
