Mad4U weekly events (for brochure)

Weekly Events:

Tuesday - Open Mic Night at 7:30pm

Every Tuesday night in Taylor Down Under Madison 4 U hosts an open mic night, which gives JMU students an opportunity to be in the spotlight. Students can sign up to perform by calling the TDU hotline (540-568-7853) starting on Tuesday morning.

Tuesday and Thursday - Madison Meditates at 12:30pm

Madison Meditates, which meets in Taylor 405 and is led by JMU professor Jared Featherstone, encourages students to expand their knowledge within and beyond their own faith traditions by experiencing secular meditation opportunities.

Mindfulness meditation has enabled many people to understand their stress, improve personal relationships, and develop deep concentration, using methods practiced for over 2500 years. No experience is necessary. Cushions, mats, and chairs will be provided, though you are free to bring your own. Students, faculty, and staff are welcome.

Wednesday - Teatime at 4:00pm

Come celebrate "hump-day" every Wednesday over Tea and scones! Teatime has quickly become a tradition for community building and sharing, over a cup of hot tea provided by Mad4U. Teatime will be in the Student Activities and Involvement Office, Taylor 205A until the Taylor Patio renovation is complete. We will be outside after that as weather permits.

Thursday's Rotate Programs

Karaoke at 8:00pm

Madison 4 U changes the theme once a month, so you might find yourself at "Scary-oke", "Care-oke", or even "Flower Power Karaoke"! Everyone is welcome to come check it out- it's a blast! Program held on the stage in TDU.

Poetry Open Mic at 8:00pm
Once a month we invite performance poets, emcees, page poets and fans of poetry to step on the TDU stage and take the mic. No one style reigns and every voice is welcome.
