Living-Learning Environment

Candle 3: Supporting our ever-beautiful campus

Much of the power of the Monmouth experience flows from its highly residential nature, where the teaching and learning experience is a round-the-clock, seven-days-a week pursuit.

Through an endowed Capital Improvements Fund, Monmouth will maintain and enhance a living-learning environment that mirrors and supports the College’s mission — the development of young men and women as intellectual, social, moral and physical beings.

The Capital Improvement Fund — also known as the CIF — provides support for the upkeep of the campus, allows for strategic planning for renovation projects and/or new construction.

Maintaining our beautiful campus should always be a top priority, as it serves as both a recruitment tool for prospective students and a point of pride for alumni.
