Charles T. Parton, a past chairman of the board, was named an honorary Life Trustee. Parton and his wife, Trudy, who live in Rumson, were honored at the university’s Scholarship Ball this spring for their many years of service to the college.
Alumni elected to the board of trustees were Marti S. Egger, class of ’81, of Fair Haven; Thomas A. Porskievies, class of ’82, of the Belford section of Middletown; and Deborah B. Larrison, class of ’94, Colts Neck.
The fourth new trustee is Michael Gooch of Rumson, who is a past member of the planning committee for Monmouth University’s annual Business Leaders Dinner.

She is president of the Monmouth University Alumni Association and previously served as its vice president as well as on various committees. In her professional life, she is regional field manager for IMS Health Inc., a sales management and market research company located in Totowa.
