MYMOM Participant Registration Application 2022

Hello! Thank you for your interest in being a Make Your Mark On Madison (MYMOM) Participant for the 2022 Fall Semester! This application is due Sunday, September 18. Mandatory participant interviews (you will be paired up with an Leadership Counselor to have a low-risk conversation to get to know you better!) will occur between Monday, September 12 through Friday, September 16 (and additional days per circumstance). Once you have submitted your application, we will send you a follow-up email containing information regarding your next steps through the process! 

MYMOM is a 10-week leadership development program focused around the values of self-authorship and vulnerability. It is offered solely in the Fall semester and is tailored to help all JMU undergraduate students build genuine connections with others, tap into their interests, find their sense of belonging on campus, become more self-aware,  and emphasize their innate ability to make an impact on JMU and beyond. Coined as a “springboard into authentic involvement at JMU,” MYMOM provides student applicants with insight into values, diversity, effective communication necessary for positive involvement, leadership skills & knowledge applicable to college, professional lives, and beyond, and close interaction with upperclassmen.

You will be placed into a council and attend weekly programs on Monday nights from 7 PM - 9 PM. The two-hour time frame will be broken up into two sections:

            7:00 PM - 8:00 PM - Presentation from a guest speaker that discusses a topic that will benefit   

                                              your leadership development.

            8:00 PM - 9:00 PM - Council Time

Council Time is where your Leadership Counselors will guide you through engaging conversations, reflections, and activities that help you process the information you learned during the first half of the night (the presentation) and further connect with your fellow council members and other participants around you. 

For more information on what the program looks like as a participant, please visit our MYMOM Page or read this article about MYMOM!

If you would like to experience this, we encourage you to come out to our "MYMOM Mock Mondays” on August 29th & September 5th in Godwin Hall 338 from 7-8 PM. The format of the night will somewhat follow that of the schedule detailed above, but will be focused more on explaining MYMOM and activities.

Monday night programming will begin on Monday, September 26 and will continue every Monday night from 7-9 PM until Monday, December 5 (with the exception of JMU-scheduled breaks).
