Live And Learn in Circles, Not Rows
We are a community defined by people, not buildings or boundaries.
Activities and OrganizationsAt Jewell, we know that critical thinking extends beyond the classroom. Community is more than our tight-knit campus. It's Kansas City. It's the world. As stewards of the college, you'll have the chance to make a difference not just locally, but globally. It isn't just about changing the world you see now, but the world you foresee tomorrow.
You never know what you’ll find on our Quad: from mechanical bulls to hammocks and food trucks. With an active Greek life, spirited NCAA Division II sports, intramurals, concerts and many school traditions, the Cardinal community is always abuzz.
Jewell Cardinals are competitive both on and off the field. Join the team or cheer on your fellow classmates!

Learn MoreFormal Recruitment (also known as Rush) takes place in January, allowing you to get settled into life at Jewell before finding the right chapter fit. Home to four sororities and three fraternities, Jewell's Greek organizations are dedicated to service, leadership, scholarship, responsible community living and lifelong brother/sisterhood. Our Fraternity Row and Shumaker Sorority Complex allow you to live with a few of your closest friends, enhancing the college experience. Greek involvement offers a support system through its camaraderie by participating in a diverse group of individuals that share one common goal. The lifelong friendships and memories are merely an added bonus.
