"They love Harrisonburg and the surrounding Shenandoah Valley. We hear this over and over from our alumni. They always tell me how important the Harrisonburg area was when they were deciding where to go to college, and how much they enjoy coming back. The city’s “Friendly By Nature” slogan is much more than some nice words used on marketing materials; they truly describe Harrisonburg, a city that makes a lasting, welcoming impression on our students."![]()
