Day of Giving 2022

We are thrilled to announce we met our Jewell Day of Giving goal! We had 118 donors contribute a total of $25,800, going well beyond our Giving Day Challenge goal. Combined with the commitment from our Board of Trustees, the 2022 Jewell Day of Giving grand total is $225,800!

We could not have accomplished this without the generosity from the Jewell community, and we are grateful for giving future students the gift of opportunity.

“Jewell students thrive thanks to our donors’ ongoing and generous support. Our robust scholarship opportunities help students to experience Jewell’s life-changing curriculum and meaningful activities such as Greek life, athletics, music, theatre, and debate. I am grateful to each of you who make this transformational education accessible to all current and future students. It’s a great day to be a Cardinal!”

Pave the Way for Tomorrow's Leaders

Harper Auman, psychological science and ACT-In major

“I chose Jewell for the caliber of academics and the amount of opportunities presented before me. I am able to be a student-athlete, join Greek life, study abroad, become a Pryor Leadership Fellow, and so much more. At Jewell, I can spread my wings and be so much more than an athlete.”

Tavarus Pennington, communication and English major

“When we competed at debate tournaments, I got to see all those massive university campuses and I got to realize why we have something none of those institutions have - a focused and intentional community based on offering opportunities to every student who seeks them.”
