A Campaign for Southwestern College

Forward Now LogoWhether in classrooms, on practice fields, in community meetings or in church groups—the Builder Spirit matters. Builders are an engine for good. From our campus to the communities we each call home, our actions—big and small—move the world forward in positive and important ways.

In all the ways that Builders matter, in all the ways that Southwestern matters—the FORWARD / NOW campaign matters.

Christy-77As a Builder, your participation in the FORWARD / NOW campaign matters. Your contribution will make an immediate difference by improving the experience of existing students, faculty and staff and enhancing our ability to recruit and retain future Builders.

Together, we can honor the tradition and mission of Southwestern College. We can strengthen our college’s ability to attract, retain, and graduate people of high character— people who are committed to making the world a brighter and better place, people who build—because the world needs more Builders.
