Article: High Satisfaction Among Liberal Arts College Grads

I read an interesting article this morning on a recent survey of college alumni and their satisfaction with their undergraduate experiences. The results showed that alumni from independent liberal arts colleges (in particular, a group of them called the Annapolis Group--of which Jewell is a member) reported higher levels of satisfaction with their undergraduate experience than alumni of private universities and top 50 public universities. Graduates from this group of colleges also reported that…See More

Back from Philly

So the theme song from Fresh-Prince of Bel-Air has been stuck in my head the past 4 days while I was in Philadelphia working one of the country's biggest Livestrong Challenges! Over 5,100 runners and cyclists descended on the city of brotherly love, rain (read: downpour) or shine, and it was a blast! I've had a combined 10 hours of sleep over the past 4 days but it was all worth it as the event raised $2.6 million! Lance Armstrong was there to kick it off and to ride the 100 mile path with…See More
