It was perfect weather for the third Annual Global Understanding 5K on University’s campus on Friday, April 6, 2012 to benefit pediatric brain tumor research through The Kortney Rose Foundation (KRF). With close to 100 participants, it was the largest turnout for this event to date. The beauty of the campus lends itself to a wonderful venue for this event. The 5K event caps off the Global Understanding Convention which is a week full of events open to the campus and public, which brings light to global events. This year’s convention was titled “Freedom, Sustainability, and Security: Creating Interconnected and Inclusive Communities.”

However, aren’t these signs of Greek pride often prominently displayed throughout the University?
On Saturday afternoon, both the Monmouth University men’s and women’s track and field squads claimed the team title at the Rider Invitational in Lawrenceville, N.J., while a trio of distance runners competed at the Bison Outdoor Classic at Bucknell University, which included ECAC qualifying marks for a pair of Hawks.
Getting Familiar With Faculty Evaluations
Students always know when it’s about to happen. With less than two weeks left of classes, the professor wraps up one class a few minutes early, reaching for a manila envelope on their desk. A brief speech about something called the SIRs is brought to your attention as a questionnaire is distributed to you and your peers. The professor quietly leaves, giving you a few minutes to look it over and answer the questions laid out before you.

Some students decide to get involved with student affairs, others with athletics, some with clubs, and then there are a few others who decide to write books. This happens to be the choice that Aziz Mama and Matthew- Donald Sangster made when they co-authored The Stranger Inside: Stories from Beneath the Mirrored Glass, published in May 2011 under their own publication house, Mama Sangster Publications.
