Do More at Southwestern College

DO MORE A T

S O U T H W E S T E R N.


You will do more – that is both a promise and an expectation at Southwestern. Moundbuilders are given more opportunities to engage, more chances to try, more support, more room to explore, more responsibility. Some students choose to attend other institutions so that they can blend into the crowd, but that’s not you. You are looking for a college that will allow you space to surprise yourself – that will challenge you to discover your full potential.

The tradition of the Jinx began in 1912 and is honored today. While stepping on the Jinx stone is discouraged, stopping by Stewart Field House to pet the Jinx cat is highly encouraged.

moved by tradition.

Much like our nearly 100-year tradition of Building the Mound, Southwestern College relies on students and faculty bringing what they have together, to contribute and to build on what began here in 1885. Among our greatest traditions are commitment to one another and to hard work. This is a community that will depend on you and that you can depend on.

with community. Welcome to Winfield. This is the home of the Builders. Winfield is a community that supports and cares for our college. Seated on the edge of Kansas’ Flint Hills in the Walnut River Valley, it offers scenic beauty.
