Welcome to Monmouth College

“To me, Monmouth just feels like home. Every professor I’ve talked to, every student I’ve engaged with, and at every event I’ve attended, I have always felt welcomed and like I belong here.”

Mariah Garzee ’22
“My favorite Monmouth memory was during my sophomore year of volleyball season. The stands were filled with professors, students and community members. The energy in the gym that night was unreal and really showed how much pride Monmouth has.”

Renee Rude ’21, Business Administration and Public Relations
“Monmouth is a family tradition where I could make a difference. The whole campus feels like a family.”

Troy Hippen ’22, Communications Studies
“Being able to walk around campus with at least five people saying hello gives me a feeling of closeness and a little home away from home.”

Erika Cruz ’21, Business & Public Relations

“A liberal arts education has been enormous in my development as an engineer. Through the rigorous coursework and critical thinking assignments at Monmouth, I can clearly articulate technical concepts in writing that has advanced my career.”

Stefan Flynn ’14, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
“My favorite memory of Monmouth was watching my older sister play on the basketball team. Watching her senior night was my favorite moment as a little brother and as a Fighting Scot.”

Hunter Todd ’20, Mathematics
“My senior research helped me master my research skills, which helped me keep up with the pace of grad school.”

Raheem Brown ’16
“Monmouth has given me a love of science and research, and I hope to take that with me to Yale and then model that infectious excitement about science when I become a professor.”

Brandon Allen ’19, Yale University Biophysical Chemistry Doctoral Student

“I enjoy teaching at Monmouth because the small class sizes and emphasis on quality teaching allow me to focus more on my students.”

Amy C. De Farias, History Department Chair
“Monmouth students are eager, excited and willing to try new things about opportunities presented to them. They’re not as self-conscious as students at bigger schools sometimes are, and I’ve enjoyed tapping into that close-knit, community nature.”

Bob Simmons, Classics Department Chair
“What I find truly fascinating about politics is that it is all around us; it affects everyday choices, like the foods we eat, the people we associate with, and how we see the world.”

Andre Audette, Political Science Professor
“I love working with our students because I see myself in them. They tend not to be entitled, and they typically don’t come from privileged backgrounds. I want their experience to be as impactful as my college was for me.”

Michelle Simmons, Educational Studies

“From day one, people on campus were a family – and he felt like he was a member of that family, not just a number. He’s a big-city-kind-of-kid, but he felt like he truly belonged on this small campus and in this community.”

Tammy Simmons
“As the parent of an out-of-state student, I was really worried about sending our only child to a college many states away. The day he arrived on campus Monmouth College opened their arms and hearts and took him in. Our son has made lifelong friends and Monmouth will always hold a special place in his heart.”

Jennifer Cutright (parent of Alexander ’21)
“As the parent of a senior baseball player, I have been so pleased to see the friendships my son has made at Monmouth. His teammates are roommates and they’ll be lifelong friends.”

Jean Witty
“Our son was recruited to play lacrosse. Even though it was a blizzard outside, our first visit to campus was awesome. It’s nice to know if we have questions or concerns someone is there to help. Our son made a perfect decision. It’s a perfect fit!”

Tracey Weaver

“We are fortunate our sons found their way to Monmouth. It is so much more than a place to earn a degree. From classroom, to athletic field, to study abroad, the relationships and experiences have prepared them to adapt and contribute in an ever changing world. Roll Scots!”

Byron ’88 and Suzan Sondgeroth (Parents of Blake ’17, Lucas ’20 and Reid ’23)
“Monmouth’s commitment to developing teacher-leaders in an intentional way is distinctive, especially for a liberal arts college.”

Gary Funk, Rural Schools Collaborative Director
“Monmouth means running into anyone and everyone on campus with a smile and knowing each person.”

Morgan Bemis ’21, Alton, Ill.
“Transferring to Monmouth was the best decision I made for my future. This place is one big family, and I felt like I belonged the moment I stepped foot on campus. The faculty has gone above and beyond to ensure my success in the classroom and when I graduate.”

Brock Crippen ’21, transferred from Illinois Central College
