We invite guests to explore how JMU’s Research, Economic Development & Innovation (REDI) division advances ideas from early concept to real‑world impact. Through a series of interactive stations, the event highlights REDI’s integrated support ecosystem for faculty, staff and students. Attendees will experience how Research Administration strengthens ethical, high‑impact scholarship; how innovative student programs foster creativity, collaboration and problem‑solving; and how REDI’s Economic Development initiatives help drive growth throughout the region and the commonwealth.


Featuring demonstrations, success stories, and conversations with faculty, staff and students, the showcase offers a dynamic look at the services, partnerships and outcomes that position REDI as a catalyst for discovery and advancement. Guests will leave with a deeper understanding of REDI’s full‑spectrum resources and a clearer sense of how the division fuels the success of the university and its community through innovation, research excellence, and economic impact.
