projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, we administered the Executive Mentoring Program, modernized the look and feel of the website and newsletter, continued the Professor in Residence Program, added several new members, and continued to build a collegial community with a common interest in making Monmouth University the best it can be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we close out this academic year with our annual spring social, our efforts will refocus on supporting the students and faculty once the summer break is over.&nbsp; I\u2019m looking forward to spending time with all of the council members on June 20<sup>th<\/sup> at our Spring Social in a relaxing and social environment.&nbsp; Thanks to all of the committee chairs who have dedicated their time to the activities of this
