Message from the Chair of the
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees at University of the Southwest has members from diverse backgrounds and industries. We represent private and public industry, including business, finance, healthcare, and education. We not only serve the Board as a whole, but are also assigned to a working committee of Academic Program, Advancement, Finance and Audit, Institutional Resources, and Student Life. Most importantly, we have a responsibility for the institution to be fiscally sound while providing a quality education.
We are honored to serve University of the Southwest. With Christ at the center of our mission, we are able to focus our institution in a positive way that provides for a lifetime of servant leadership by emphasizing individual faith, responsibility, and initiative. We complement the educational experience on campus with a newly constructed and dedicated Student Life Center. We have much to offer and invite you to explore the opportunities on our campus. If you do visit our campus, be prepared to meet some of the most sincere and dedicated staff an institution has to offer. We look forward to seeing you.
