On March 15 2006, James Madison University invited Oscar-winning actor and James Madison fan Richard Dreyfuss to speak about the Constitution's author and his assertion that "Knowledge is Liberty." (BONUS: To the suprise of the University and community, Richard and his fiance waltzed into the county court house in Harrisonburg and tied the knot later that weekend) Dreyfuss' speech kicked off the ongoing two-year campaign (leading up to JMU's Centennial Celebration in 2008) dedicated to inspiring students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and other constituents to honor the legacy of James Madison's revolutionary ideas. BE THE CHANGE celebrates the "Madison Experience" at JMU and illustrates how the University is transforming the power of knowledge into civic engagement around the globe. Winner of the 2006 CASE III Award of Excellence. Created by Producer/Editor Nathan Marsh ('01), Assistant Producers Adrienne D'Souza ('06) and Rachel Barnes ('07), Executive Producers David Taylor ('85) and Andy Perrine ('86).

At James Madison University, springfest quickly went from a fun way to unwind during the end of the spring semester. Unfortunately, it became a riot and the police station raided the universities paper to seize pictures and evidence of the riot. Katie Thisdell said that the journalism community has rallied around the student newspaper.

Beer bottle cloud at JMU Springfest
The block party started off great until some kids started throwing beer cans and bottles at the cops and then at everyone else in the crowd. The police fell back and regrouped with reinforcements in full riot gear. They police began moving into the crowd and pushing it back trying to get everyone to disperse. They started off using pepper spray but when the crowd continued to throw cans, bottles, and rocks the police began to use tear gas. The crowd then began lighting dumpster fires and knocking down lamp posts. I would simply like to thank the police who came to restore order and the safety of the town. It is sad that it had to come to what it did, and all because some people thought it would be a good idea to start to throw shit at the police and their fellow party goers.

JMU students throw a Flash Mob Rave Party at ECL to get ready for exams. December 6th, 2009
This was JMU's first ever Library Flash Mob Rave! This took place on exam week in James Madison's brand new huge library to alleviate the stresses of exam week and have some fun on December 6th, 2009! People were jumping from the balcony, climbing the support beam, crowd-surfing, having a good time!
So a few students at James Madison University decided to meet up for a brief study break. Even with the JMU police, Harrisonburg police, state trooper and fire/rescue present, we still had a great time! I was outside as a "casual observer" but it was insane to watch everything.
