The university is named for James Madison, the fourth president of the United States and primary author of the U.S. Constitution.

Affiliation: State university of the Commonwealth of Virginia

Academic Divisions: College of Arts and Letters, College of Business, College of Education, College of Integrated Science and Technology, College of Science and Mathematics, College of Visual and Performing Arts, The Graduate School, General Education

Athletic Affiliations: National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC)

Athletic Programs: 18 varsity sports (6 for men, 12 for women)

Nickname: Dukes (in honor of Dr. Samuel P. Duke, second president of the University, 1919-1949).

Colors: Purple, Gold

Men’s Sports Programs: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Soccer, Tennis

Women’s Sports Programs: Basketball, Cross Country, Field Hockey, Golf, Lacrosse, Soccer, Softball, Swimming and Diving, Tennis, Track and Field (indoor and outdoor), Volleyball

Nicknames, TraditionsJMU’s athletic teams use the nickname “Dukes” in honor of Dr. Samuel P. Duke, univer-

sity president from 1919-1949. Men’s athletics began at JMU during Duke’s tenure (men first enrolled in the regular season in 1946 as day students.)

Women’s teams were known by several names until “Duchesses” became prevalent in the early 1940s. That name was dropped in 1982 when all of JMU’s teams became “Dukes.”

The school colors, purple and gold, were selected during JMU’s first session in 1909-10 from the colors used by the institution’s two literary societies, Lanier and Lee. The Lanier Society’s colors were violet and white and the Lee’s gray and gold. Violet soon was replaced by purple, which was easier to obtain for use for pennants and other decora-tions.

The school mascot, a bulldog with a purple and gold cape and a crown, was adopted in 1971. The bulldog is the tradi-tional pet of royalty such as a duke.

“Duke Dog” entertains at JMU athletic contests and other university special events and also takes part in a variety of community activities and events.

JMU also has used several living bulldogs as university mascots.

Duke Dog won the “popular” vote during the 2004 Capital One Mascot of the Year competition, compiling an 11-0 re-cord in head-to-head voting against other college mascots.

Athletics director


Jeff BourneAthletics Director

Jeff Bourne is in his second decade as JMU’s athletics director, having already overseen a period of dramatic enhance-ments on behalf of all of the univer-sity’s student-athletes and coaches. At JMU, Bourne leads a program that is competitive within the Colonial Athletic Association as well as at regional and national levels and that has positioned itself to continue to play a major role in intercollegiate athletics.

Bourne has overseen processes to ensure the academic, athletic and social success of all JMU student-athletes. In 2008-09, JMU celebrated an 80 percent graduation rate among its student-athletes, compared with JMU’s general student population rate of 81 per-cent. When Bourne arrived at JMU, the graduation rate among student-athletes was 71 percent and the overall student rate 79 percent. Annual fundraising has improved dramatically under Bourne’s leadership, with an overall increase of more than 400 percent during the past eight years. Student-athlete support services and facility improvements also have been highlights of the past 10 years.

JMU enjoys a tremendous academic reputation nationally as evidenced by its continued placement among national and regional publications. For the 16th consecutive year the university ranked as the top pub-lic, master’s-level university in the South in the highly regarded annual poll on academic quality conducted by U.S. News & World Report for its guidebook, 2010 America’s Best Colleges.

During Bourne’s tenure more than 1,000 conference academic honors have been given to JMU student-athletes, including CAA scholar-athletes, CAA com-missioner’s academic award winners and ECAC scholar-athletes of the year. JMU also has had four student-athletes receive NCAA post-graduate scholar-ships.

Perhaps the best measure of success is the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate. JMU has ranked well above the NCAA minimum standard for each of the program’s rating periods, and no JMU teams have been subject to APR-related penalties. Seven of JMU’s 18 teams had APR scores ranking in at least the 90th percentile of their respective sports in the most-recent APR release, the greatest number reaching that mark among any of the 12 CAA institutions.

Providing outstanding athletics facilities is a primary focus, and JMU will continue to make significant prog-ress in this front during the coming year. In 2009-10, the new Veterans Memorial Stadium complex for baseball and softball will be completed; work will begin on the new Sports Park, including practice and competition fa-cilities for field hockey, soccer, lacrosse, track and field and cross country; and the $62 Million, 20-month pro-cess to renovate Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field will begin.

The football stadium expansion project will increase seating at the facility to nearly 25,000 and will feature major enhancements, including private suites and club level seating, improved concessions and restroom fa-cilities, improved lighting, and a new media facility.

Under Bourne, JMU has developed an enhanced vol-unteer fundraising network and a point-priority system to recognize donor participation and has implemented programs to increase game attendance and address

the needs of athletics infra-structure. These efforts have resulted in unprecedented levels of success in fundrais-ing while driving football at-tendance to all-time records.

Major program enhance-ments in student-athlete ser-vices and academic advising, sports medicine and strength and conditioning have added to the overall quality of the student-athlete experience as demonstrated in annual se-nior exit interviews and peer program evaluations. Annual evaluation and information data also is incorporated into a strategic planning and report-ing process to enhance the or-

ganizational structure of the athletics division with the primary focus on meeting the needs of student-athletes and coaches.

“We’re very proud of the accomplishments we’ve had and I am quite fortunate to work with and serve a tremendous group of coaches and a talented support team. We will continue to work together toward the common goals of ensuring the success of our student-athletes in all of their endeavors -- academically, ath-letically and socially,” Bourne said. “Our goals are to win conference championships and to advance our teams to post-season play while adhering to NCAA and conference guidelines and to graduate our student-athletes.

“We continue to strengthen the infrastructure and fa-cilities of the athletics program,” he said. “Our support centers and athletics personnel are dedicated to pro-viding student-athletes with the best experience pos-sible at the intercollegiate level. We also are extremely pleased with the construction of the Robert and Frances Plecker Athletic Performance Center, which benefits all of our student-athletes with state-of-the-art academic facilities and serves as an entrance and focal point for our football stadium. Other athletics facilities construc-tion that is being planned and implemented on campus -- immediately new baseball and softball stadiums and enhancement of our football facility and later upgrades for other programs -- will provide JMU with outstanding competition sites.”

The Plecker Performance Center, which opened in 2005, is the first significant facility project funded pri-marily through private resources in JMU athletics’ his-tory. The $10 million facility is adjacent to Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field and features support ar-eas for football and areas for entertaining during home football games and for JMU’s athletic hall of fame. Also included is the Challace McMillin Academic Center that benefits performers in all JMU sports programs. Advising and counseling for all of JMU student-athletes take place at the facility, which also includes an out-standing computer lab and strength training and sports medicine facilities.

Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field, the home of JMU’s football program, has a large electronic score-board with live game action and video replay capabili-ties, an outstanding FieldTurf playing surface and an en-hanced sound system added in recent years.

Prior to arriving at JMU in 1999, Bourne served in several athletics roles at Virginia Tech from 1986-97 and was senior associate athletics director at Georgia Tech from 1997-99. At Georgia Tech, he supervised finance, marketing and promotions, ticketing, sports information, and radio and television broadcasts and production.

He also was liaison to the Alexander-Tharpe fund, the university’s development arm, and administered base-ball and golf.

At Virginia Tech, he was associate athletics director during his final two years, and he co-chaired a commit-tee that reviewed gender equity at the school. The com-mittee developed and implemented a plan that brought the school into compliance with federal guidelines and ranked it fifth nationally in compliance.

A Salem, Va., native, Bourne was Virginia Tech’s ath-letics business manager and then associate athletics director for administration and finance.

Bourne received his Bridgewater College degree in business administration and accounting in 1981 and completed his master’s degree in education and sports management at Virginia Tech in 1994. He worked for four years in public accounting and received his certifi-cation in public accountancy before moving to Virginia Tech, where he first was an internal auditor and a consultant to the athletic business office. He is a 1994 graduate of the Sports Management Institute Executive Program from the University of North Carolina and the University of Southern California.

Bourne’s wife, the former Mary Lou Garber, is a Harrisonburg area native and a Bridgewater graduate.

Dr. Linwood RosePresident

Dr. Linwood H. Rose became the fifth president of James Madison University in September 1998. Under his leadership, JMU has developed a reputation as one of the top public universities in the nation.

JMU offers a student-centered atmosphere that blends the best attributes of a liberal arts education, including superla-tive teaching and high levels of service and support, with the best qualities found at larger doctoral universities, including a wide breadth of programs, world-class faculty, state-of-the-art facilities and opportunities for students to be actively involved in research and discovery.

National surveys continue to cite the university’s academic excel-lence and its emphasis on student involvement and civic engagement. JMU has also established itself as a leader in institutional performance measurement, accountability and assessment of student learning. The university has been recognized for offering proven value and an excel-lent return on investment to its students.

Founded in 1908, the university recently completed a year-long celebration in honor of the institution’s 100th anniversary. Under Dr. Rose’s direction, the university community has inaugurated several new transformational initiatives which will chart the course for the univer-sity’s second century. These initiatives include enhanced diversity, the creation of a comprehensive campus master plan, and the Institute for Stewardship of the Natural World to promote a culture of sustainability on the JMU campus.

Central to Dr. Rose’s administration have been efforts to diversify and expand JMU’s funding portfolio. The university successfully completed its first comprehensive capital campaign, benefiting from $70 million in contributions for scholarships, faculty support, and ongoing support for academic, co-curricular, and capital projects. The university’s budget has doubled since 1998, and JMU’s sponsored program activity also has expanded significantly. The university also has developed a strategic partnership with SRI International, a California-based research institute.

Since Dr. Rose became president, more than a million square feet of new facilities have been added to the JMU campus and 20 new aca-demic programs, including six doctoral programs, have been approved.

Dr. Rose also led efforts to align the university more closely with the legacy of President James Madison, the fourth U.S. President and primary author of the U.S. Constitution. JMU is the only univer-sity in America named for Mr. Madison.

In addition to his lead-ership role at JMU, Dr. Rose has represented JMU and Virginia in a variety of important roles on national, regional and state com-missions and advisory boards.

Dr. Rose serves as the only higher education representative on the National Infrastructure Advisory Committee that reports to the President of the United States. The commit-tee makes recom-mendations regarding the security of the cyber and information systems of the United States. (JMU is one of seven charter mem-bers of the National Security Agency’s Centers of Excellence in Information Security Education.)

Dr. Rose was formerly chair of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the regional accrediting agency for 11 Southern states. He also has served as com-missioner, Virginia state chairman, committee chair and executive council member for SACS. In addition, Dr. Rose served as a member of the Division I board of directors of the National Collegiate Athletic Association from 2000-04 and also has served as the Virginia state representative to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU).

He is a member and former president of the Council of Presidents, an organization of the presidents of Virginia’s senior colleges and universi-ties. He serves on boards of directors for the Philpott Manufacturing Partnership and SunTrust Bank, Harrisonburg and is also a member of the Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance Advisory Board.

Dr. Rose previously has served as chairman of the board of Rockingham Memorial Hospital, as president and campaign chairman of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham County United Way, and as a member of the James Madison Commemorative Commission of the U.S. Congress.

Dr. Rose began his professional career with JMU in 1975, and his assignments have included responsibilities in every division of the university. He took a leave from the university during the fall of 1985 to serve as Virginia’s deputy secretary of education. In 1994 Dr. Rose was promoted to the position of executive vice president. He served as act-ing president during the fall of 1997 and was tapped to be JMU’s chief executive the following September. He was formally inaugurated Sept. 17, 1999.

Dr. Rose grew up in Staunton, Va. He holds degrees from Virginia Tech, The University of Tennessee and the University of Virginia.

Dr. Rose and his wife, Judith, reside at Oakview in Harrisonburg. They have four children and three grandchildren.
