Signs of Your Generosity

Signs of your generosity are woven into the very fabric of our campus—seen in our counseling spaces, student resource centers, community classrooms, and vibrant gardens.

Make Your Gift to SWC

When you give to Southwestern College, you contribute to more than just an institution—you become a part of a community dedicated to growth, healing, and transformation. Your support sustains an education that does more than prepare students for careers; it empowers them to lead lives of purpose, compassion, and resilience. In counseling and art therapy, our students are taught not only the skills of their professions but also the values of empathy, cultural humility, and social responsibility. Each gift you provide ensures that these values, woven into every aspect of our programs, continue to inspire and transform future generations.

Your generosity touches every student who walks through our doors. It makes a difference in classrooms where students engage with leading-edge therapeutic practices and in art therapy studios where creativity fosters healing. Through your support, students gain hands-on experience in counseling labs that mirror real-world settings, allowing them to develop skills that are critical in the field. Your gift also supports serene outdoor spaces on campus, designed intentionally to encourage mindfulness, self-reflection, and well-being—spaces where students can rejuvenate and reconnect with nature.
