As a JMU Honors student, the path you are embarking upon is one that will equip you with the tools to tackle the world’s “wicked problems,” those that have no easy answers, are tough to describe, and have innumerable causes. In fact, the wicked problems that have gripped headlines for the past few months – the fight against racial injustice and the COVID-10 global pandemic, among others – are currently impacting your lives and will continue to shape the contours of your college experience. The first step in being solution-minded is to cut through the noise and identify the facts that matter. That’s why we chose Factfulness as required reading for the incoming class. A reading guide will be coming to your inbox soon. We hope that you'll read the book and the guide completely, and arrive at JMU ready to share your thoughts about how you plan to cultivate a more factful worldview.
