Description

Students, faculty and community members converge at JMU X-Labs to develop uncommon ideas through uncommon partnerships. Bringing unique ideas from disparate disciplines, they collaborate to solve real problems in innovative ways. We host pilot classes that shift the way people think, challenge the status quo and solve complex problems. We help students, faculty, and community members establish unprecedented partnerships across traditional barriers. We encourage new ideas and creative solutions through divergent thinking.
