William Jewell College was Time magazine’s “Liberal Arts College of the Year” for 2001–02. Its First Year Experience program was included on U.S. News & World Report’s 2006 “America’s Best Colleges” list of “Programs to Look For” because of its collaborative effort involving students affairs, academic affairs, and leadership studies – and it boosted retention rates from 72 percent to 86 percent. Now William Jewell is in the news again because of its new framework for liberal arts. We’re intrigued, so we invited vice president for student affairs Rick Winslow to tell us about it. – C.S.
