September 15- October 15 is recognized as National Hispanic Heritage Month. As part of our campus activities, we will be creating a spotlight for out students and honoring their Hispanic Heritage. Our next spotlight student is Anita Karina Gandara (?24). ????

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!! Our CMC Spotlight Student is Omar Class of 2023!!

Happy Black History Month! Be on the lookout for Champion Miller Center events throughout the month.

Happy birthday to the man that fought countless days and nights to end the deep-rooted culture of racial injustice. Although the fight against racial injustice isn?t over, Dr. King showed us that we should always fight for what we believe in. Even if it means sacrificing everything. Happy Birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Your fight and commitment for equity, inclusion and community will never be forgotten.

Walk into 2023 with the heart of a Champion. Happy New Year! #ChampionForChange

As part of the NCAA Equity & Inclusion initiative, football players, Devin Lawrence ?23 and Derek Brown ?23, talk all things allyship and what being part of a Monmouth team means to them. #RollScots #NCAAInclusion @ NCAA

For this year?s NCAA Equity & Inclusion initiative, @mcscotstennis player, Ditza Montesinos ?23, shares their story on intersectional identities and how it plays out on and off the court. Check out the full video in our bio! #ChampionForChange

The Becoming and Belonging convocation was filled with lots of discoveries, lessons from failure, being a difference maker, accountability, and how to be a student of life. Thank you to our alums and leaders for sharing their wisdom.

Leaders inspire???

Happy Friday Champions??

ATTENTION!! Our summer internship opportunity is still available if you?re interested. Here is some information along with ways to get in contact with someone if you are looking further!

Chicken update! Our flock looks a lot different than it did a year ago so here?s some new pictures. We have some new variations of chickens and new roosters who are all very nice and friendly! Thankfully they all get along with Braun too!

It?s everyone?s favorite day of the week?aka a Braun update! She has grown so much since May and has nearly matured. She has her white upper body now with her big girl beak!

??Internship Opportunity! ?Monmouth College is looking for an Educational Farm & Garden Intern! Key responsibilities include: -Developing Prek-12 curriculum & social-emotional learning programs -Facilitating activities with students -Researching the introduction of animals -Planting, harvesting, and maintaining the farm -Engaging with stakeholders and the community For questions, please contact Educational Studies Department or wackerle@monmouthcollege.edu less

Swipe to watch Braun as she?s grown! She is now 5 whole months old and has changed so much from feather color, size, wing span, beak, and personality.

Corn and sourgum field update! These pants have grown SO tall and are looking very healthy. Can?t wait for harvest time ??

Look who has nearly DOUBLED in size over the last month and a half! The chicks are doing so well growing up alongside Braun. She has grown some white feathers on her face and still loves hanging out with these little guys ????

For all new students, here is an introductory post! At the head of our farm and garden, professor Eric Engstrom and recently retired professor Craig Vivian over see all our activities. Anyone who comes around to help will see these two and Steven Ommen heading projects. Hope to see new faces volunteering Saturday mornings this school year!

Swipe to see how much our corn, sorghum, and sunflower field has grown since planting it! We were able to plant corn this year with all our own seeds which is a goal of ours to be more self sustaining.

Did you know we have pecan trees? Well we do! We have our big one that?s was planted in 2009 and is starting to grow pecan nuts. Along with 3 smaller trees planted just last summer. We have a Colby, perque, and starky hardy giant and are unsure what our oldest tree is since it was planted so long ago. We?re hoping to plant two more to finish off our orchard in the chicken pen!

Guess who upgraded to the cruiser?! The chicks are getting bigger by the day so they?re needing bigger spaces as well. Always adapting to your animals needs is necessary for their happiness and survival.

GLSEN?s Day of Silence, this year on Friday, April 27, is a student-led national event where folks take a vow of silence to highlight the silencing and erasure of LGBTQ people at school. https://www.glsen.org/day-silence

Part of Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrating the independence of many Hispanic countries! One of the countries we celebrate today is M?xico. In 1810, Miguel Hidalgo gave a shout which resulted in the beginning of a war for independence. Each year, the President of M?xico rings the same bell Miguel Hidalgo did and waves the country?s flag. ???? !Viva M?xico! ??????

We?ve come to the end of our book and spent class time reading an opinion piece also written by author Tara Westover. Westover?s unique life experience and writing style made this book both an engaging and informative read. The students suggested that it be included in the course for next semester!

I try not to utilize this page to talk about myself as a Democrat and a member of this organization. However, the terrorist attack in Charlottesville prompted me to rethink that policy, so let me introduce myself. I am Anthony Adams, president of the Monmouth College Democrats. I am a senior. I am from Chicago. And I am Black. In the fervor of political action, it is easy to forget the names and faces that are impacted by every decision we, as people and as Americans, make. The second we find ourselves unable to condemn domestic terrorists, white supremacy, and the social demons we love to claim are past us, we lose. America is done at that point. But we aren't there yet. We have a lot of work to do. Let us be one hundred percent honest here: We keep saying "this isn't America." But we still haven't proven that. So, I guess, that is what I am asking of you. Regardless of political affiliation, prove that America is better than this. Be good to the people around you. Push back against racism. Challenge bigotry. Listen to marginalized people. Do better. America can be better than what we showed the world. We have an obligation to prove it.

This is what "politics affects lives" means in action. Vetoing funds as a means of getting your way is irresponsible, and actively hurts regular citizens.

Former FBI Director James Comey has begun to clarify the record on Trump's interactions with our legal justice system and its oversight capability. These opening statements are, for lack of a better word, damning. Americans of all stripes must, can, and will do better. This is more than about party politics. This is about the sanctity and integrity of the very institutions we rely on for a functioning state ever single day.

The Monmouth College Democrats will be meeting tomorrow night at 8 PM in Peterson Hall. Be there!

It's about time!

A great message from the woman who will hopefully be our next U.S. Senator!

Congrats to Loretta Lynch in finally being approved as our next Attorney General!

He is just like us!

A brighter future is ours to write. Let's begin this chapter together." - President to Congress
