Stop by our office located in room 101 of the Warner Student Life Center to find out more about club and organization events, on-going projects at area sites, as well as about large scale service projects planned for the Lincroft campus as well as our regional locations.
Large Scale ProjectsThrough out the year Student Life and Activities sponsors large scale projects in which the college community is invited to participate. Examples from the 2009-2010 school year include the Harvest Festival for the Homeless in October at the Northern Monmouth HEC featuring support from Farmers Against Hunger, theNovember Annual Food Drive for the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties in Neptune which gathered over 1400 lbs of food, the Point in Time Homeless Count sponsored by Monmouth County Health and Human Services in January in Freehold and Asbury Park, and the Garden Clean Up at The Center in Asbury Park which provides housing and support for those living with HIV and AIDs in our community. Brookdale students and administrators worked together to make a difference in our community. Here are some photos from some of our past events.
