Dedication of Champion Miller Center
On what was called “an incredibly historic day for our campus community” on April 29, Monmouth College dedicated the Champion Miller Center for Student Equity, Inclusion and Community, its first building named after a person of color. The building at 727 East Broadway was most recently known as the Center for Intercultural Life. The Champion Miller Center was founded to provide an array of academic and support services, fellowship, and inspiration to students of all ethnicities and backgrounds, particularly disadvantaged, marginalized and first-generation college students.
