This girl is everywhere! Jewel Higgins is a senior at the University of Tampa, majoring in criminology and minoring in Government and World Affairs. She has a passion for Greek life being a sister of Pi Beta Phi and serving as the Vice President of recruitment Development for the College Panhellenic association at UT. Jewel also works in the Telecounseling Center in the Office of Admissions, answering questions and giving tours to perspective students!
When Jewel is not working with Greek life or admissions, you can usually find her hanging with her sisters or reading a great book. She’s read over 500! Coming from the Bronx, NY, Jewel also loves the feeling of a big electric city. It’s what she misses the most about home besides her mom, whom she considers to be her role model. She says she’d be proud to become half the woman her mom is.
When Jewel graduates in May, she wants to join the United States Air Force and then continue on to work for the United Nations. “Why not dream big?”, she says. Jewel also wants to live in New Orleans; she thinks it’s a wonderful city for a young woman to start off.Jewel will always live by her favorite quote, “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” Make sure you follow her on instagram @jeweldhiggins and twitter @jewel_dh
