Our Fall 2021 Issue<\/h2>\n\n\n

Just received my Monmouth<\/em> magazine<\/a>. Loved it! It\u2019s a great product that reinforces the very best qualities of Monmouth and its brand! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remembering \u201cHoss\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n

I was saddened to hear about the passing of John \u201cHoss\u201d Kessler \u201969. He was a great guy. Rest in peace, my friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Paul (Doherty Jr. \u201967, \u201904HN) depicted in his article<\/a>, John was such a genuinely nice person who would befriend others so easily. John and I were teammates on our junior high school team and remained friends and competitors throughout our intramural teams at Monmouth. We met twice in the school championship games, and I can still picture John pulling in a pass behind him with one hand. That was over 50 years ago too! Fortunately, we won both of those games and had a big laugh about his catch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praise for Monmouth\u2019s Focus on First-Generation Student Services<\/h2>\n\n\n

I too was a first-generation graduate and stumbled along the way. Study abroad? Internships? If I only knew. Monmouth University was a great choice for me, and I\u2019m happy to see there are programs to help students along the way<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
