Monmouth College

(285)

Monmouth is a small, private liberal arts college in Illinois. But we prefer to say we’re a liberating arts college. For starters, we’re a tight-knit family of educators and learners. Our faculty and staff care deeply about what they do, and they challenge students to see the world from many different perspectives. The result: Monmouth students unlock their full potential. And that’s what we belie

ve college is all about: gaining everything you need to live a full life, long after you’ve landed your first job.

We are so grateful that we were able to welcome back over 140 Golden Scots this past weekend and celebrate the classes of 1966, 1971, 1976, and 1981!

Moments like these remind us that friendships and connections made here at Monmouth College don't end at graduation- they last a lifetime. What better way to celebrate National Best Friends Day than by reconnecting with the friends who helped shape some of your most memorable college experiences. No matter how far life takes you, Monmouth will always be home. ❤

The NBA Finals just got a little more interesting in the Monmouth network. 🏀

On one end, Monmouth alumnus and Trustee Tim Salier ‘96 is helping lead the business operations of the San Antonio Spurs as they chase another championship.

On the other, Board Chair Mark Kopinski ‘79 is cheering on his beloved New York Knicks in their quest for a title.

No matter who comes out on top, Monmouth already has a winner in this Finals matchup. 💪🏼

Today marks the end of an era on the Monmouth College campus.

Demolition of the Fraternity Complex is underway, and members of the campus and local community may notice increased construction noise throughout the next few days as this work progresses.

While the sounds of demolition signal necessary change, they also remind us of the countless memories made within these walls: friendships formed, traditions celebrated, late-night conversations, and experiences that became part of the Monmouth story.

As we close this chapter, we'd love to hear from those who called the Fraternity Complex home or spent time there over the years. Share your favorite memories, photos, and stories in the comments below as we reflect on the impact this space had on generations of Fighting Scots.

Investing in future Fighting Scots, rooted in tradition.

For the Hart family, Monmouth College has been part of their story for decades — a place of friendships, opportunity, and lasting connection. Trustee Gus Hart's continued support honors the experiences that shaped his family while helping future Scots create traditions and memories of their own.
