Our Future
We believe we should strive for no less than making Southwestern University an inspiration to other preeminent undergraduate colleges because its innovative programs are transforming liberal arts education.
Envisioned Future
The primary goal for Southwestern University in the next decade is the development of an institution of higher education that provides a liberal arts and sciences experience that encourages an ethos of high intellectual standards while continuing to value the spiritual and moral dimensions of our community's life.
The pursuit of such an important goal must begin with the individual undergraduate experience. Because the student is central to everything we do at Southwestern, we believe that the liberal arts learning and living environment we envision building over the next decade will ignite in our students a passion for lifelong learning, a compassion for others, and a desire to accept responsibility. For this vision to succeed, our students, in turn, will inspire other people, organizations, and communities through their actions and decisions in life.
Indeed, to be a "Graduate of Southwestern University" should represent an unparalleled liberal arts experience and should be understood by employers, graduate school deans, and leaders nationally by 2010.
