Special Events: Monmouth University

Planners made this event a real school- and community-oriented party and kept costs down by having it in the school’s multipurpose center, the building which was a major achievement of Gaffney’s presidency. The cocktail hour was held on the track, and the dinner and roast took place on the arena floor. The school’s veterans group presented the colors, and its pep band and glee club performed. All three groups got their start during Gaffney’s tenure.
