Get Involved

There are so many ways you can give back to Monmouth — on your schedule.

Once a Scot, always a Scot

There are many ways to remain connected to your alma mater.

Many alumni volunteer to take part in College events, such as “Scots Connection” programs through the Wackerle Center for Career, Leadership & Fellowships. By participating in “Scots Connection,” alumni engage in programming that connects them with students.

Alumni can also attend alumni gatherings, join an alumni chapter or refer a student to Monmouth.

Monmouth alumni stand out because they invest their charitable giving where their hearts are by making an annual financial gift to the College. An annual gift of any size is one of the most powerful statements an alum can make about their alma mater.

Scot of the Week

We love having opportunities that allow the Monmouth College community to reconnect with many amazing fellow Scots. Our Scot of the Week program highlights a different alumni every week on the Monmouth College Alumni Facebook page. Watch for some familiar faces to be featured — you might be the next Scot of the Week!
