Dear Members of the Monmouth University Community:
I am writing to share an exciting update for the future of Monmouth University. This past Saturday, at our 50th annual holiday gala, we proudly announced the largest fundraising campaign in Monmouth’s history. This $175 million campaign, aptly sharing the same name as our strategic plan—Excellence. Access. Ambition.—will advance our bold goal of becoming a national leader at integrating excellence and access.
The ambitious fundraising goal of this comprehensive campaign is nearly four times the size of the next largest campaign in Monmouth’s history. With its success, we are positioned to accelerate our recent evolution as a university. The campaign will help elevate academic excellence, expand educational opportunities, enhance our campus, and establish Monmouth University as a leading force in higher education.
Please visit our campaign website to learn more about these priorities, and enjoy this short video which chronicles Monmouth’s progression from a small junior college to a comprehensive university enjoying our highest-ever national rankings, and showcasing the transformative goals of this historic campaign.
Monmouth would not be poised for this trajectory of success without such a remarkable community of students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and supporters. Thank you for your enduring support of our university, and for championing this ambitious undertaking to transform students’ lives and secure Monmouth’s promising future.
Sincerely,
Dr. Patrick F. Leahy
President
