I saw this on Twitter. We analyze and complain and encourage on this Board. This video makes me proud to be an alum. This is a video that should be played at every football game.

Nice drone work.

Very Nice!!

Really cool. Makes you miss the place no matter how long it's been.

Love the beauty of our campus. Never get tired of seeing it.

This is why we win. Eventually, we always do.

Chins up!

Very nice.

I have an eye problem, they water a lot, or it could be I'm too sentimental.....I'm like the Boz as this makes me want to go back to college! This sums up what makes JMU so special.

Definitely a nice promotion of what we all love......

Nice! I absolutely hate to say this, especially when we have such a positive thread going, but I would have liked the final shot over BFS to have come from the Godwin side in order to display the new rather than the old. I love the place and what it represents to me.

I agree with you. I was a little disappointed to see it end with a view of D-Hall and Wilson. I would have liked to see some of the mountains and campus/ game day atmosphere.

If you look at who posted this it is an alum with a drone. Not too bad a job by an individual. Maybe you can get him to add more footage.

So pumped that I live and work here, and get to see this everyday. Hanging out with students, watching campus change everyday, giving "tours" to friends and families, and attending as many sporting events as I want makes it easy for me to be keg half full on most of the hot button issues on here. Small clips like this probably help tone the negativity down a little, but coming back to visit helps the most.
Adding to what dunk said.
After a tough loss on the JMU ski race team at regionals years ago, my guys were super bummed out, and all I said was "well we get to go back home to JMU tonight and they don't". Everyone immediately smiled, and off we were back to a beautiful campus, the worlds best women, and DHall. # winning

Preach!

Nice video, hope they can do another one when school is in session - I think it'd look a lot better if the campus weren't empty. You say this is a commercial, is it airing on TV?

I don't think it's a real commercial for tv- but from a social media perspective, it absolutely will be seen and sells the campus very well.
