About

**We officially met our goal, but every dollar counts through midnight tonight! If you haven't given a gift yet, you still have time!**

From November 15-16, 2022, we are celebrating our legacy and our future during Our Future Firsts. During this 48-hour giving challenge, we need your to help us unlock $25,000 in bonus funding for our students thanks to a challenge gift from Justice Gary Hastings '72.

Since its inception in 1911, Southwestern Law School has opened its doors to students from all walks of life. We are proud of our alumni who were the first in their field to leave their mark on our school and our society.

This giving challenge is for our future "firsts"—the glass-ceiling breakers, change-makers, and trailblazers who are presently sitting in classrooms in Westmoreland or the Bullocks Wilshire. Your gift will ensure that our current students have the tools and resources they need to succeed at Southwestern and beyond.

Now is the time to come together for Southwestern students. Support our future firsts with a gift of any size to the Annual Fund, General Scholarship Fund, or any area of the Southwestern experience that is meaningful to you! Join our herd, and be one of the 200 Bison we are counting on to reach our goal!

What an incredible showing of support for Our Future Firsts! Thank you to all the Bison who helped us unlock $25,000 for our current students. If you haven't given a gift yet, you still have time. The challenge closes in six hours!

Plus, there's over $2,000 in matching funds still available thanks to Cherie '81 and Jack Raidy, and 2 alumni from the 90s can help us unlock a $5,000 challenge gift from Paul Stevens '98! Every gift matters!
