  • Get Back To 1964…The Beatles Come to America

    Tickets will go on sale for this event Monday, December 18, at 12 p.m.

    Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music Presents Symposium to Celebrate the 60th Anniversary of The Beatles’ Arrival in America

    The Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music at Monmouth University will present a symposium on Saturday, February 3, 2024 that celebrates the arrival of the Beatles in America sixty years ago. Titled Get Back…To 1964, the day-long event will include panel discussions, interviews, book signings, and musical performances of early Beatles’ songs performed by regional musicians.

    Participants in the symposium include Beatles’ authors Ken Womack (Living the Beatles Legend) Bruce Spizer (The Beatles Please Please Me); radio personalities Dennis Elsas (WFUV and Sirius) and Tom Frangione (Sirius); and musician Jim Babjak (Smithereens).

    “The arrival of The Beatles in February 1964 profoundly changed the course of American music,” said Bob Santelli, Executive Director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. “They inspired musicians here from New York to San Francisco and brought to rock & roll brand new ideas as to how the music could be made.”

    “The Beatles transformed American music, fashion and culture. Their mop-top hair styles, Beatle boots and mod clothing became an overnight obsession in the 1960’s”, said Eileen Chapman, Director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. “They encouraged the younger generation to take a deeper look at what was happening in the world.”

    The symposium, which is open to the public, will be held in the auditorium of Monmouth University’s historic Great Hall.
    Tickets are $64 and will go on sale Monday, December 18, at noon at the Monmouth University Box Office in the Ocean First Bank Center and online here.

     

  • The Third Annual Julian Abele “Out of the Shadows” Public History Symposium (Virtual)

    Sponsored by the Public History Minor at Monmouth University

    The Public History Minor at Monmouth University hosted the first annual Julian Francis Abele “Out of the Shadows” Virtual Public History Symposium via Zoom in 2021. Free for presenters and attendees alike, the Symposium is intended as a welcoming place for public history practitioners at all levels, established and emerging scholars, and graduate and undergraduate students to share their public history work on individuals or groups in history whose legacies have been purposefully or inadvertently suppressed, overshadowed, or underappreciated. We hope to bring these parties out of the shadows and into the fuller appreciation that they so richly deserve.

    The Symposium is named in honor of pioneering African American architect Julian Francis Abele, who contributed greatly to the design of Monmouth University’s Great Hall (previously known as both Shadow Lawn and Wilson Hall). Everyone who has attended Monmouth University has personal memories of the building, a National Historic Landmark. But if you ask them about it, they are probably more likely to mention Woodrow Wilson’s brief time at the original Shadow Lawn (not “ours”), or the current mansion’s starring role as Daddy Warbucks’s home in the movie Annie than they are the fact that it was designed in large part by perhaps “the greatest American born Beaux-Arts architect,” Julian Francis Abele. Monmouth University’s Fall 2020 Museums and Archives Management Basics class sought to increase awareness about Abele’s role in the creation of what is perhaps our University’s most beloved landmark by creating “The Julian Abele Project.” Now, we hope to honor Abele’s name with this annual virtual public history symposium, designed to bring regular attention to Abele’s story and to highlight work focused on other figures underrepresented in the historical record.

  • Navigating Imposter Syndrome in Your Career, with Becca Baier ’12

    Alumni Speaker Series

    Nov. 9, 2023, at Noon

    Becca Baier

    What happens when you are faced with imposter syndrome? Whether you are about to graduate, you are currently employed, or you want to switch career fields, we’ve all felt it. That voice in your head tells you that you don’t have the experience or qualifications. How do you “fake it ’til you make it” in a place you’re worried you’ll be found out?

    Almost 2 years ago, Becca Baier ’12 transitioned from a higher education professional to the corporate world; these were some of her many thoughts along the way. Whether you’re thinking about changing career fields or just struggling with those loud voices in your head, let’s talk about what we didn’t know we all experience now and then: imposter syndrome.

    About the Speaker

    A proud Monmouth Hawk, Baier has a B.S. in Mathematics and M.A. in Higher Education Student Personnel. She went to Ole Miss for grad school, and during her eight years working in higher education, she worked at Rider University and Rutgers-New Brunswick. In January 2022, Baier made the career leap to corporate, where she now works at Paramount Global in Human Resources. After her first year and a half, she made a jump within Paramount to a new team and continues to experience that thing we can’t seem to avoid in life—change!

    Outside of work, Baier is the founder and director of The Celebrate Life Foundation, a NJ 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and is a certified life & career coach. She loves spending time with her family and friends, lives on the beach (right by campus!), and has a knack for organizing and color-coding.

  • AI and Education: How to Navigate with Generative AI

    Ai Kamei

    The School of Education Instructional Technology Committee is happy to announce a free webinar about artificial intelligence and its effect on the educational landscape, which will be hosted by Ai Kamei, Ph.D.

    How can we navigate through an AI-infused future in education? While it’s true that tools like ChatGPT do present genuine challenges for educators, they also offer a chance to reconsider and update our current teaching methods. In this Zoom PD session, we will discuss how we can use generative AI like ChatGPT to update our current practice to support students to thrive in the AI era. Through this PD session, the participants will identify the pedagogical shifts necessary to meet student needs in the AI era, explore tools to save time planning lessons, writing emails, conducting research, and discuss the implications of AI on policies.
