Pres. Leahy Named to NJBIZ 2025 Education Power List

Monmouth University President Patrick F. Leahy, Ed.D., has been named to the NJBIZ 2025 Education Power List for the sixth straight year.

The business journal praises Leahy for not only navigating significant changes throughout his tenure as president, but also propelling Monmouth forward, setting new year-over-year benchmarks in almost all enrollment measures, signing a comprehensive strategic partnership with Hackensack Meridian Health, launching a major capital campaign with a fundraising goal of over $150 million, and securing a spot in the Coastal Athletic Association.

NJBIZ also highlights Leahy's role as chair of the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music, through which he has spearheaded plans to build a $47 million, 30,000-square-foot-building, and has helped to launch the American Music Honors, an event that brings prominent performers to campus.
