Dear Southwestern University Parents and Families, 

When our son, Ace, attended Sprog, he immediately knew the Southwestern Experience was for him. And just as quickly, we knew we wanted to help… while having a quality reason to visit him more on campus.

The Parent Leadership Council (PLC) has been a great place to get involved. PLC members engage with President Laura Skandera Trombley, University leadership, faculty, staff, and students. Our twice-a-year in-person meetings held during the Fall and Spring semesters, plus other regional opportunities, offer an insider’s glimpse into life at Southwestern and showcase the University’s unique curricular and co-curricular offerings.

Through the PLC, your family has an opportunity to be part of something significant at SU and to further the Southwestern Experience with your time, talents, and financial gifts. To learn more, please visit: About the PLC.

We hope you consider joining us on the PLC this year. Families are eligible to join the PLC by making an annual gift of $3,000 or more to support the Parent Fund and other University priorities. Your leadership and generosity create opportunities for every student—and help make Southwestern’s future even brighter.

Join the Parent Leadership Council

For more information, you can review the brochure or visit the PLC website. If you have any questions about the PLC or are ready to join, please contact Amanda Parr, Senior Director of Parent Giving, Major Gifts, at parra@southwestern.edu or (512) 863-1403.

All the best,

Kim and Tim Dowling P’28
