Welcome Dukes!

Welcome to A Duke’s Life. We are six Dukes who have experienced what it’s like to be an underclassman at JMU. Overwhelming does not even begin to describe it. It is our hope that through this blog, you are made aware of all the possibilities available to dive deep into JMU life.

To help you navigate through all of the opportunities we have set up this blog with six categories. The first category—what we are all truly here for—is academics. Jennifer is going to provide information on some of the academic hacks that can help you reach your academic goals.

So what about when your not doing homework, studying or in class? No worries, because our other five categories have got you covered.

Amy is going to give us the inside scoop on how to take advantage of all the health and wellness opportunities UREC, JMU, Harrisonburg and the Shenandoah Valley have to offer. Whether it's a hiking trail or a healthy cooking class, she wants to make sure you're living your healthiest life.

Next up is Mac. He is going to be providing all the details on what there is to do on the weekends. Rather you are interested in weekend sporting events, or off-campus opportunities, Mac is your guy.

Cassey will be providing all things on-campus. She will be keeping you updated on things such as when is the next late night breakfast and what events the University Program Board will be hosting for the month.

Our last category is going to be about how to make the most of your spare time. Jordan is going to present ideas like delicious recipes, and DIYs to help you keep your free time, productive time.

Now that you know what A Duke’s Life is all about, it is our hope that you find this blog to be a useful resource and you visit us often.

Check our website regularly for new posts every week!

Have a great week Dukes.
