What's the Grammy Museum's connection to Monmouth University in West Long Branch?

The school will become an official university affiliate starting with a launch 2:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, at the Lauren K. Woods Theatre. There will be performances by bands from the university's student-run record label, Blue Hawk Records. The archives of the Bruce Springsteen Special Collection will also be open, and Grammy Museum director and Monmouth University alumnus Bob Santelli will speak at the event.

The affiliation, facilitated by Santelli, will open doors to students for opportunities like internships, research programs, employment and accessibility to talent for events and production, according to a release from the university.

"With Grammy Museum's new educational affiliate program, we're inviting educational institutions to engage in a unique resource-sharing opportunity," said Santelli in a statement.

The launch is free and open to the public. Visit www.monmouth.edu for more information.
