Our college's western Illinois location means that we occupy a region of vital importance to the world. The output of America's heartland is a crucial element toward feeding and providing energy for a growing world population. Not only does the Midwest possess special promise, but so do Midwesterners. Unlike many liberal arts colleges in this part of the country, Monmouth College remains committed to being a resource for our host region.
