The John Priest Greene Society honors the legacy of William Jewell’s longest-serving president. Dr. Greene’s devotion to the College for 30 years as president and 20 years as a Trustee has had a paramount influence on Jewell’s emergence as a national liberal arts college.

“John Priest Greene was known for his belief in hard work and genuine concern for students and faculty,” said Dr. David Sallee, President of William Jewell College. “This important society honors the enduring spirit of people like Dr. Greene who believe in our students, the value of a liberal arts education and the mission of the College.”

How Members Honor Dr. Greene’s Legacy
