Matt Staples Jewell Journey Interviews William Jewell College

When Matt Staples came to William Jewell, he thought the place to apply his creativity would be outside of the classroom. A member of a local rock band, Matt continued to pursue his interest in music with a minor. He chose a business major as a matter of practicality. 


But in a marketing class with Debbie Scarfino, Associate Professor of Business and Sam Walton Fellow, Matt discovered a different outlet for his passion. Marketing class introduced a different side to business that I hadnt experienced yet. It let my creative side come out, he said. 


It was this creative side of Matt that was needed to help prepare Jewells Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) chapter for a regional competition. With an impressive array of projects to present, the team needed a video to go along with the presentation.

Jewell's chapter of this international organization, now in its third year, manages a portfolio of projects, which it presents at competitions with other college and university chapters at regional and national competitions around the country.




Thanks to SIFE, Matt is graduating from Jewell and entering the real world with more than a great classroom education. His experiences include setting agendas for business advisory board meetings, preparing PowerPoint and video presentations for conferences, and managing long-term projects that impact the community. 


Its no wonder that Matt was offered a job almost a full year before graduating. As a business consultant for the healthcare company Cerner, Matt will continue to use his creativity to identify solutions to problems.
