Spotlight on…..Monmouth University |
|
|
By Robert L. Cornero, Associate Vice President for Campus Planning and Construction
Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of articles designed to
highlight various campuses within APPA’s Eastern Region. In doing this,
we hope to entertain and educate you about the work environments of
your colleagues and provide an opportunity for informal benchmarking.
Monmouth is a private, medium-sized, coeducational, comprehensive
University founded in 1933. Enrollment is approximately 5,600 FTE.
Monmouth's campus is a five-minute drive from the Atlantic Ocean in
West Long Branch, New Jersey, and is convenient to New York City and
Philadelphia. The 156-acre campus features 55 buildings, including
historic landmarks and state-of-the-art facilities. Monmouth is known
for its small class sizes and a low student-to-faculty ratio. We are
home to the Urban Coast Institute and the Monmouth University Polling
Institute, our Men’s Soccer team is ranked in the top 10 nation-wide
and our first football player to make it into the NFL, Miles Austin, is
having a big year in the big D.

NJAPPA has an exciting line-up for the 2009-10 academic year. We kicked things off with our fall chapter meeting, held Oct. 30 at Rider University in Lawrenceville, N.J. Over 100 attendees learned about new cleaning methodologies using ionized water, Rutgers' new 1.4 Mega-Watt, $10 million Solar Farm and the Green Globes environmental assessment tool for both new and existing buildings. With the support of our business partners, now numbering over 40, we continue to improve the value of our programs for both our institutional members and business partners.
