Monmouth University held its Holiday Ball on December 2, 2017 kicking off the social holiday season in style as historic Wilson Hall was transformed into an elegant winter venue. Carolers greeted local business leaders, alumni, parents and friends of the university as they arrived at the sold-out event. As guests entered the Great Hall, they were met by a holiday scene complete with beautifully decorated trees, elegant floral arrangements, festive lights and hanging lanterns, all of which set the mood for a delightful evening of dining and dancing to the sounds of Paris-New York.

The Monmouth University Holiday Ball was founded in 1974 by the Monmouth University Library Association to raise funds in support of Monmouth students. It is now organized by the Holiday Ball Committee and serves as the culmination of the university’s annual scholarship campaign, with net revenue from the event going toward student scholarships. Next year’s Holiday Ball is scheduled for December 1, 2018.
