Alumni

A thousand hearts’ devotion to the school we love so well.

Home is where the bagpipes are

Where red brick buildings fill a small rural town and where tartan makes your hearts go pitter-patter.

As a Scot, you know this all too well. The Alumni & Development Office is always glad to see you! And we’ve got lots of ways you can connect back with your alma mater, no matter where you are in life.

Scots forever

The best part of being a Scot is that your Monmouth family grows every year. As a Monmouth alum, you get to connect with those who have gone before you and also help guide newly minted Scots. The Alumni & Development Office strengthens your connection to your alma mater long after you walk across the stage in front of Wallace Hall. 

Whether you’re looking to connect through alumni events, reunion celebrations, find updates about the College, recruit future Scots or make a gift to Monmouth, we are always striving to find meaningful ways to enhance your relationship with Monmouth.
