Distinguished Service Award
Outstanding service deserves to be applauded.
Jeff Rankin
Jeff Rankin is a true example of what is possible from dedication to an institution. For nearly 30 years, Rankin has edited the Monmouth College magazine and authored the recurring “Monmouthiana” magazine feature. Rankin’s byline can also be seen frequently on Medium articles about the unique personalities and traditions that have shaped not only Monmouth College, but the region.
In addition to co-authoring the definitive College history, A Thousand Heart’s Devotion: A History of Monmouth College, Jeff can be seen at Golden Scots celebrations, Homecoming, and multiple online events and tours bringing people back to times gone by with charisma, wit, and an amazing mastery of history.
