Dear Students:
To the newest members of the Monmouth University community – the Class of 2015 – and to our new transfer students, a hearty welcome. To all our returning students, welcome back. It’s great to have you with us again. I hope your summer was productive and fun and you are now ready for an outstanding year here at Monmouth.
As in the past, the University has undertaken a number of projects this summer to improve your experience as a student. Several enhancements and additions have been made to the campus. You will see we have renovated and redesigned the main parking lot. Not only will this beautify the campus, but it will also provide a better flow of parking. A renovation of Laurel Hall was completed. The 800 Building has been taken down and in its place will be built a new art building and gallery. Lighting has been added to our soccer fields which will allow Monmouth to host evening soccer games.
The University also has a number of exciting performances planned for the MAC this year. On November 5 the University will be hosting Joel McHale. Other recent performances at the MAC included a sold out show by Wiz Khalifa as well as a show by All Time Low.
You will also find a wealth of opportunities to get involved in the life of the campus. New clubs will welcome your participation and the Greek life system is always looking for strong students who want to form a common bond. Come out and cheer all the student-athletes who represent you and the University so well. Take advantage of the outstanding performing arts, theatre, and film schedules. All of this is here for you – but you must choose to take advantage of them.
I want you to be challenged by your experience here. I want you to take care of yourself and take care of others. Commit yourself to being the best student and member of this community that you can be. Challenge yourself to be open to new opportunities. Get to know new people and appreciate the unique experiences and talents that we all bring to this community. Most importantly, contribute in whatever way you can to make Monmouth the best campus it can be. Above all though, be safe.
We are all here to help you, to support you, to cheer you on, and to challenge you to be the best. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time. Again, welcome to campus!
Sincerely,
Mary Anne Nagy
Vice President for Student and Community Services
