#OnThisDay in 1928, Brown Gymnasium was destroyed by fire. It was built in 1893 east of Jewell Hall and was deemed one of the first and finest college gyms west of the Mississippi River. The new Brown Gymnasium opened a year later north of the original structure. In 1983 the gym was transformed into Brown Hall after the Mabee Center became the home of Cardinal Athletics.

2020 looked a little different than we had planned, but we continue to work together to maintain a safe community. Here’s your reminder to #MaskUp and practice #SocialDistancing. Let’s have a good #2021, Cardinals.

Good luck to our volleyball team! They begin their season TONIGHT against Quincy University! #DefendTheNest

#LightingOfTheQuad with a twist! The Jewell Electric Light Parade: Twinkle All the Way was a hit! This all-outdoors event was reimagined for pandemic protocols and was reserved for students. The grand marshal, chosen by students, was Cindy Eggleston, barista At The Beak (fifth photo). Santa's "sleigh" was provided by Steve, '84, and Susan Arbo, '86. #HappyHolidays, Cardinals!

Students in Jewell’s Nonprofit Law and Risk Management class were busy as bees this semester consulting with MO HIVES, a nonprofit that transforms vacant lots in #KansasCity into bee farms. The class completed an assessment and audit of the organization’s risk management practices and systems, then presented recommendations for improvements and risk mitigation. Thank you, #MOHivesKC, for including our students in your community work! Read more at https://rb.gy/vfpt81! #JewellAchieves #JewellDoesNonprofit

New favorite month: Oc-SNOW-ber!

Which is more beautiful: campus when the leaves are changing or campus when snow is falling? Today, we get both.

This week, we're sharing Carlene Basore's story. After being denied by men's college tennis teams across Missouri, Carlene joined Jewell's team nearly a decade before women's sports achieved varsity status. She was also the first woman inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994. #ForgingAPath We're so grateful to be able to share these Jewell student-athlete pioneers! Stay tuned for more.
