Distinguished Service Award
Outstanding service deserves to be applauded.
Peter Pitts
Over 2,000 college students have Peter Pitts to thank for their college career. His 27 years of Monmouth College admissions counseling offered him the chance to see many generations of Fighting Scots come and go. His honest, cheerful demeanor endeared him to a great many students who found their homes at Monmouth comforted in knowing a true exemplar of what it means to beat Monmouth. We honor Peter for his many years of service, reflected in the faces of the many Scots we’ve come to know and love through his efforts.
