This past Saturday, at our 50th annual holiday gala, we proudly announced the largest fundraising campaign in Monmouth\u2019s history. This $175 million campaign, aptly sharing the same name as our strategic plan\u2014<em>Excellence. Access. Ambition.<\/em>\u2014will advance our bold goal of becoming a national leader at integrating excellence and access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ambitious fundraising goal of this comprehensive campaign is nearly four times the size of the next largest campaign in Monmouth\u2019s history. With its success, we are positioned to accelerate our recent evolution as a university. The campaign will help elevate academic excellence, expand educational opportunities, enhance our campus, and establish Monmouth University as a leading force in higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/campaign\">campaign website<\/a> to learn more about these priorities, and enjoy this short video which chronicles Monmouth\u2019s progression from a small junior college to a comprehensive university enjoying our highest-ever national rankings, and showcasing the transformative goals of this historic campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Video: Excellence.
