The objective of Midnight Madness is to provide additional opportunity for prospective students to enroll in college. To serve the adult student population, the college kept all the admissions services open until midnight.

We know that college students are changing,” said Director of Admissions Evan Jerome. “We see more adult students than we ever have before. Events like these demonstrate the lengths we'll go to to cater to their needs to help them achieve success.

The Winter, 2007 semester begins at Monroe on January 4. For more information call 800-55-MONROE.
