\u201cWith more than 25 years in advancement, Wendy brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that will help us reach our ambitious goal for student scholarships,\u201d said Jonathan Meer, vice president for University Advancement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be joining the Monmouth advancement team and look forward to working with our leadership, faculty, alumni, parents and friends to achieve important new milestones in philanthropy for Monmouth,\u201d Parsons said.<\/p>\n
