Changes

     William Jewell is rapidly 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.      Some of the ways Jewell has utilized the collected data is the creation of the college's first ever engineering program, which it is in the midst of now. In the fall of 2016 William Jewell College will be welcoming its first ever class of civil engineers. The program will have an environmental emphasis and focus on four technical areas: environmental, geotechnical, hydraulic and structural. The addition of this department will certainly add to the innovation and entrepreneruship on Jewell's campus.
