Do you know any of the 134 individuals that recently became a permanent part of the Quad?

Like most colleges and universities, William Jewell provides special recognition to individuals who make substantial contributions to the College. Introduced last year, the Circle of 1849 honors William Jewell's highest level of donors to the Jewell Fund. Any donor to the Jewell Fund is eligible for Circle of 1849 membership with gifts totaling $1,000 or more during a single fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). This includes any matching gifts made by companies who provide this benefit to its employees.

During the 2004-2005 academic year -- our first year for the Circle of 1849 - we welcomed 134 individuals as inaugural members in this exclusive society. All first-time members of the Circle of 1849 are celebrated by the placement of a brick bearing their name in the border of the walkway encircling the Quad; because the Circle of
1849 was offered for the first time last year, all of these individuals are now immortalized on the Quad with bricks in their name.

Would you like to join them? Provide your Circle of 1849 gift today and ensure your spot on the Quad forever. And if you join the Circle for the first time this year, you will also bring the College an additional $1,000 from the Shumaker Challenge!
