Dear CS and IT students, faculty, and staff:

Mark your calendars because it's time for our annual Student and Faculty Picnic! We're excited to invite you all to join us for a day of fun, food, and camaraderie at Purcell Park.

  • Date: April 27th, 2025
  • Time: 12:00 – 3:00 PM
  • Location: Purcell Park Shelter #3
  • Parking: See the image below for parking locations (which are highlighted in blue). If the main parking areas shown are full, the JMU R2 parking lot is also an option (about a 10-minute walk from there to Shelter #3). Google Maps screenshot with parking lots circled

This event, hosted by and generously funded by the Computer Science Department, is a fantastic opportunity for students and faculty in the Computer Science and Information Technology community to come together in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. It's not just about sharing a meal, but also about fostering connections and building a stronger sense of community within our department.

Here's what you can expect at the picnic:

  • Free food: Indulge in a delicious variety of sandwiches (some of which will be vegetarian) from Jimmy John’s, some fruit platters, and drinks. There's something for everyone, so come hungry!
  • Family-friendly atmosphere: Faculty and staff members are encouraged to bring their families along to enjoy the festivities. It's a great chance for everyone to socialize and have a great time together.
  • Games and activities: We'll have big Jenga, cornhole, frisbee, footballs, and more to keep the fun going all afternoon.

This picnic is for ALL Computer Science and Information Technology majors/minors, faculty and staff, providing a perfect opportunity for students to get to know the faculty on a personal level and vice versa.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to unwind, connect with your peers and professors outside of the classroom, and enjoy a beautiful day at the park.

Please RSVP by April 24th to help us ensure we have enough food for everyone. You can RSVP via this Google Form.

We can't wait to see you all there for what promises to be a memorable day of fun and network building!

Warm regards,

The Faculty/Student Picnic Organization Committee
