Morning Meeting- Dr. MacLeod Walls, President
William Jewell College

Dr. Elizabeth MacLeod Walls is the President of William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri.

William Jewell College provides an outstanding undergraduate experience for students who wish to invest themselves in their own education. In addition to the foundation of excellence in the core curriculum, the College provides bountiful enrichment opportunities that include the Perspectives on the Common Good Lecture Series, numerous study-abroad programs, the Hall Summer Enrichment grants, summer research grants, dozens of internship locations, and NCAA athletics. We also provide a Journey Grant for every student. This grant provides $2,000 for every student to construct his or her own experiential opportunity. These grants will make it possible for every student to study abroad or conduct research or have an internship or create an experience none of us have yet envisioned. The educational experience of Jewell students is not limited to the classroom. In fact, we expect you to be engaged frequently beyond the classroom.  These opportunities and dozens of others prepare our graduates for outstanding first jobs or placements at the best graduate schools in the world.
