The Monmouth University community was saddened by the passing of Richard Benjamin, Emeritus Professor of Electrical Engineering. The Richard Benjamin Memorial Fund has been established to support student scholarships. Professor Benjamin began his career at the University in 1959 as an Electronics Specialist while a Monmouth College student. During Professor Benjamin’s career he chaired the Electrical Engineering Department, he served as Dean of the School of Science and Professional Studies, and he was honored with the Distinguished Teacher Award. Tax-deductible donations to the fund should be sent to the Richard Benjamin Memorial Fund, c/o External Affairs, Monmouth University, 400 Cedar Avenue, West Long Branch, NJ 07764.
