About

UPDATE 2 - We're still counting all of the gifts that came in over the past few days leading up to June 30, but while we're adding up the results we just want to say: THANK YOU for your generosity to Southwestern! Ongoing support from alumni makes a difference in the lives of students and programs across campus and every contribution matters. We appreciate everything you do for Southwestern!

UPDATE 1 - Based on feedback from alumni, we’ve updated our overall donor goal and current donor count to reflect our overall goal and gifts from all of our alumni donors this year. The dollar amount still represents the amount raised during the Be the Difference campaign. Thank you for all of your support so far! - The Southwestern Annual Giving team

Choose to Be the Difference for Southwestern students!

Make your annual gift by June 30 and be a part of our push to add 1,000 alumni supporters of the Southwestern Experience! Several anonymous donors have invited the Southwestern community to match their giving through participating in our end-of-year campaign. Right now, you can have at least $200 extra donated to Southwestern when you make a gift of any size!

For the classes of 2014 through 2018, Dr. Burger has offered up another matching opportunity of $100 per donor, which means that your gift will make an even larger impact on Southwestern!

When you give $25 or more, we will send you a Southwestern reusable shopping bag of your choice. Quantities are limited, so make your gift and select your favorite bag today:
