Faculty have two primary avenues for innovation: inside the class and outside the class. Innovation in the classroom requires student interaction in place of a purely lecture-based course. Jewell's mission to create critical thinkers through its core curriculum is served by this end: a liberal arts education is furthered by enabling students to voice their thoughts, hear criticism, and increase the rigor of their intellectual engagement. Some courses already embody this ideal, but others have room to grow. Transitioning towards a curriculum that supports innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset is a gradual process that the current Leadership Circle aims to begin.

William Jewell is growing its rapidly with its Creativity and Innovation program and other campus-wide efforts, and the UI Fellows aim to catalyze this further, increasing student engagement and expanding available resources. Jewell has collected data from faculty and student interviews about innovation, entrepreneurship, and engagement over the last year, and this content area will eventually summarize those data along with that collected by the Leadership Circle.
