Philanthropy Cords
Graduating students who make a gift of $5.00 to the Class of 2026 Giving Campaign will receive a philanthropy cord to wear at Commencement. Gifts can be made at https://fly.monmouth.edu/26gift and can be designated to scholarships, a favorite academic program, Division I sport, or a club or organization that means the most to you. The Class of 2025 Giving Campaign exists to educate graduating students on the vital need to raise private support, while encouraging them to begin their participation as donors, and helps ensure continued access to a personalized Monmouth education for current and future Hawks. Please continue to check your Monmouth email for more information on philanthropy cord distribution as Commencement gets closer.
