Tap for more information About Us About Welcome to Southwestern College! For more than140 years Southwestern College has stood tall on this hill, a beacon of learning, offering students from near and far a protected space for transformational discovery and growth. As president, alongside an incredible faculty and staff, I am privileged to serve the students, alumni, and community of Southwestern College –
affectionately known as the 'Builder Family'. As a family, we share admittedly strange and special traditions, such as the Jinx and our annual Moundbuilding Ceremony, and we care deeply for one another. Builders are uniquely dedicated to strengthening community. Our students and graduates demonstrate a commitment to connection and kindness – to hard work and accomplishment. As learners in the world, Moundbuilders are
ever curious and are open to ideas and discourse. Indeed, we are immensely proud that our graduates are good friends and neighbors – excellent employees and community servants. Through their accomplishments and contributions to the world, our graduates represent the proudest tradition of Southwestern College. After selecting this site, then an open prairie situated above the picturesque Walnut Valley, the founders of
Southwestern College and early community members sacrificed and invested to build this college one stone at a time. Through the decades, it has been the work and privilege of all of us – faculty, staff, students, trustees, alumni, and community members to shepherd Southwestern College boldly forward. We collectively offer our care and dedication to every person who comes to this college seeking greater possibilities
for themselves and those around them. With great pride and gratitude – Go Builders!
