The Office of Creative Propulsion is hosting Imagining America Open Forums.

This is a monthly professional learning community for staff, students, and faculty.

Building from the public scholarship and community accessible to JMU as an Imagining America member institution,

we hope to provide the space, time, nourishment, and multimedia to grapple with the contradictions of America through conversation and connection.
