OVERALL JMU has typically always been noted for its liberal arts specialties, and the new focus on science and technical aspects forced students to adjust to a new image. Thus, as the new college accepted its first students, its impact was seen in changes in the student body at JMU. Just as changes impacted campus life, our influence spilled over into the Harrisonburg community.
