On Tuesday, April 22, Monroe College President Stephen J. Jerome, along with elected officials, college administration, faculty, and staff, and community leaders, cut the ribbon on Ustin Hall (YOU-sten), a spectacular 32,000 square-foot building that is the new Bronx campus home to the King Graduate School of Business and the Monroe School of Business.

Inspired by the words of President Stephen Jerome and other Monroe administrators, more than 700 freshmen filled the King Hall gym in two separate sessions on September 4 to launch their college careers.

Making a number of salient points about the crucial role higher education can play in a person's life, President Jerome urged freshman to sieze the opportunity before them.
