What is Cardinal Term?

Cardinal Term is the interim period between the fall and spring semesters at William Jewell College during which the College offers a number of activities, including Cardinal Term Seminars, Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration, music performances and book and film discussions, along with time for Jewell students to participate in undergraduate research and internship opportunities.

All events are open to members of the Jewell community, and many are also offered to the general public. Cardinal Term runs from January 3 to January 18, 2011.
