This weekend was a weekend of firsts. Events like JMU Fusion, The Big Event, and Madipalooza all took place on campus and in the Harrisonburg area as a sort of “anti Spring Fest”. It’s no big secret that JMU has been working against the drinking and party culture that has grown here, but seeing these events take place shows real initiative and a new sense of spirit. Spring Fest just may be a thing of the past and these new events might become tradition. Change can be scary, but I’m excited to see what happens with it.
