24 November 1970: Several hundred students rallied behind the Great Hall calling on administration to answer five student grievances. Their first: “We demand that Monmouth College administration cease and desist from its intimidation of faculty members and… we further demand the recognition, officially, of FAMCO (Faculty Association of Monmouth College.”

Just as our students showed up that day 55 years ago, lending their support and making their voices heard, we continue to show up and deliver for them, advocating for what is right and just in the pursuit of higher education.
