Jacque Jewell is a UCCS volunteer who loves the great outdoors. Jacque has many hobbies that allow her to appreciate nature, including hiking, biking, and training her German Shepherd, Moji. Jacque also enjoys volunteering with UCCS and has made many contributions to the campus and its students.
Jacque received her Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Management and International Business from UCCS in 2020. After discovering the UCCS Alumni and Friends Volunteer Program, Jacque quickly became very involved. She started volunteering as a judge for the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Case and Essay Competitions and was recently a panel member at the Daniels Fund Southern Colorado Ethics Summit. Jacque says she was "always impressed by the students writing and presentation skills." Jacque also volunteered at events like the career fair and STEM career fair, where she was able to show students career opportunities with her employer, FedEx. She found it very rewarding to share why she likes working there and how others can make an impact on the company. Additionally, Jacque serves on the College of Business Alumni Leadership Team, as a mentor for the College of Business' Relationships, Opportunities, Acumen, Readiness, (R.O.A.R.) program and as a client project lead for the Information Systems capstone course.
Jacque went back to school to pursue her MBA many years after finishing her undergrad degree and hopes to help other students in that same position through her volunteer work. Jacque says, "I have a lot of business experience and can help students learn and grow." Jacque believes helping students is a meaningful way to pay it forward. She encourages others to volunteer because she believes in the value of connection and the importance of preparing younger generations for the workforce.
