Commencement 2024

‘This machine that each of you built at Monmouth … stick with that and believe in yourself, because if you do that, you will never go wrong.’

Commencement is a family celebration. It’s a celebration for the families who travel to campus to attend the ceremony. It’s a celebration of our Monmouth family, our faculty and staff who have guided our students throughout their Monmouth journey. But most of all, it’s a celebration of our graduates, who are prepared to shape their communities and their world through service and leadership.
