Giving back to those who need help is what the Big Event is all about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Big Event<\/strong> is the single largest community service project that takes place at Monmouth University every year. Every fall, approximately 200 to 400 members of the Monmouth University community sign up to be a volunteer at one of the 10 to 25 Big Event work sites in the towns that surround campus.<\/p>\n

The Big Event has become somewhat of a national phenomenon at a number of colleges and universities throughout the United States. It originated at Texas A&M University in 1982 when 6 students felt the need to give something back to the communities of College Station and Bryan Texas.<\/p>\n

During the Spring 2000 semester, members of Monmouth University\u2019s Student Government Association attended the Conference of Student Government Associations (COSGA) at Texas A&M where our Senators learned all about the Big Event. They decided it was a program that should be brought back to the Monmouth community.<\/p>\n

Twenty four years later, the Monmouth University Big Event has become a signature program for SGA. The Big Event is held in fall and anyone affiliated with Monmouth University is encouraged to become a Big Event volunteer. If you are a member of a club, organization, fraternity\/sorority, athletic team, department, office, or all by yourself, we hope you will want to join the Big Event volunteer team.<\/p>\n

Would you like to become a Big Event volunteer?<\/strong>\u00a0Contact SGA by calling 732-571-3484<\/a> or email\u00a0SGA@monmouth.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
