President Brown Invites Students to the Opera at Pollak Theatre

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Monmouth University’s new President, Paul Brown, has extended an invite for ten Monmouth University students to join him in the viewing of the simulcast performance of Tosca on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 1 p.m.

In order to give a fair chance to every student enrolled at the University, President Brown has decided to have a contest. In order to enter, a student must log onto www.surveymonkey.com/s/opera50 and write why they should be picked to accompany President Brown to the opera in 50 words or less. The deadline for responses is on Wednesday, Oct. 9. If chosen, the student will be notified by Friday, Oct. 25.

“Opera is great entertainment, but unfortunately too many students have not been exposed to it.  In fact, my love of opera came about from studying German at Franklin and Marshall College, so I thought this was a great way to payback.  The winning students will enjoy Tosca and a brunch before the performance with us  – and what better way for me to meet more MU students,” President Brown said.

The University provides students with a highly personalized education that builds the knowledge and confidence of tomorrow’s leaders.
