Each year at the end of October, the students and alumni come together to celebrate what is one of the most anticipated events of the entire school year, Homecoming. Everyone throws on their Monmouth apparel and comes together to support the football team. The club and Greek organizations show off their floats while the communication organizations come together to report on the day’s events via radio, television and news. The Homecoming court is announced and we find out who was elected king and queen in addition to the other ranks.

To Club or Not to Club?
It’s a tale as old as time, and as true as it can be. A lazy Sunday afternoon after a week’s worth of hustle and bustle. A day to relax and maybe, well, do something. But what? Everybody else seems to be doing something. Or perhaps they’re with someone new. Someone they met by becoming more involved in school activities. While they are at it, they are probably doing something more productive than watching a rerun of the Jersey Shore.
It’s Not About What You Know, It’s Who You Know
It’s an all-too-common story: student works hard and earns A’s throughout their four years of college, takes on an internship, takes part in activities that will be an asset to their resume, graduates… and then cannot find a job.
