MONMOUTH, ILLINOIS (November 17, 2025) — For Monmouth College senior Isaac Guadarrama, the path to medicine has always been about more than science, it's about people. Originally a science education major, Guadarrama entered college with a passion for mentoring and guiding others. But as he explored how science could intersect with service, he discovered that biochemistry provided the foundation he needed to pursue his growing interest in medicine.

MONMOUTH, ILLINOIS (November 5, 2025) — Monmouth College will observe Veterans Day on November 11 with an evening event featuring State Rep Dan Swanson.

MONMOUTH, ILLINOIS (October 28, 2025) — The date November 4, 2000, is a special one for Kristin Whitver Fouts, a 2003 graduate of Monmouth College.

It's also proof that college — and life — can be full of surprises.

Today, Fouts serves as the director of education and chapter development for Zeta Beta Tau fraternity. It's an interesting position to hold for someone who entered college with no thoughts at all of being in a sorority.
