Bio
Monique Gore gained a passion and love for higher education by being an active student leader at Gettysburg College. At Rutgers University-Camden as the Assistant Coordinator in the Office of Campus Involvement, she was responsible for evening and weekend events, community service programming, student organizations recognition, and Greek Life. In June of 2012, she returned to her alma mater in the Office of Student Activities and Greek Life. Monique excelled in student programming as the primary advisor for the Campus Activities Board, The Attic nightclub space, and advisor for 80+ active student organizations. After four years in that office, she was promoted to the Inaugural Director of Programming and Outreach in the Office of Multicultural Engagement (OME) in the summer of 2016. In the OME, Monique has created a marketing/ branding strategy for the new office. She developed a transition pre-orientation program for First-Generation, lower-socioeconomic status BIPOC, and Queer students. In 2021 she was promoted to the role of Executive Director for the Office of Multicultural Engagement to lead all the office’s endeavors in a holistic approach to multicultural competencies for campus-wide programming, faculty partnerships, student organization advising, and alumni engagement.
She received her Bachelors of Arts in Africana and Women’s Studies with a concentration in Latin American Studies from Gettysburg College and Masters of Science in Organizational Leadership. In 2018 she was awarded the National Association for Campus Activities – Outstanding Diversity Achievement Award- Individual, and in 2021 Young Alumni Achievement Award for Career Development. Now receding in Winston-Salem with her son and husband, Monique is excited to connect with students, faculty, staff, and alumni to build connections outside the classroom at Wake Forest with an intersectional cross-cultural lens.
