Monique Mathews '06 hit the ground running after graduating from Gettysburg. She gained a passion and love for higher education by being an active student leader on campus. After receiving a job at Rutgers University in Camden as the Assistant Coordinator in the Office of Campus Involvement, Monique was able to continue in the area of student development and leadership skill-building for college students. One of her many responsibilities included organizing community service projects in order for students to build relationships with the citizens of Camden. In 2007, she began establishing relationships with Non Governmental Organizations in multi-regions of South Africa to begin an Alternative Spring Break trip for students. To date, eighteen students have been on the trip. While in the country, they learn about NGOs in South Africa and the needs of the people they service. Sanding/varnishing desks, painting, mural creation and literacy development are just a few of the projects Rutgers students complete while in the country. In May of 2009, Monique completed her Masters of Science in Organization Leadership from Cabrini College, and she is currently serving on the Gettysburg College Alumni Association Board of Directors.
