First Associates

President Wyatt to address Sept. 17 town-gown luncheon
  • President Clarence R. Wyatt
Monmouth College president Clarence R. Wyatt will speak at the first Monmouth Associates gathering of the year on Sept. 17 at noon in the Whiteman-McMillan Highlander Room of Stockdale Center.   Wyatt will share his vision for how Monmouth will be a leader in the evolution of residential liberal arts colleges and how an even stronger partnership between the college and the City of Monmouth will contribute to that ongoing goal.   The Associates program is free; a buffet lunch costs $10. Reservations can be made by calling 309-457-2231 by Sept. 15 or by email at alumni@monmouthcollege.edu.   A free shuttle van transports passengers from two locations to every Associates luncheon. The van will stop at the northeast quadrant of the Public Square at 11:45 a.m. and at the Faith United Presbyterian Church parking lot at approximately 11:50 a.m. It will return to both locations immediately following the program. Shuttle reservations should be made by calling the above number.
