Welcome Message from Our Chairs

Dear Southwestern University Parents:

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 mentor incoming families and engage with University leadership, including Dr. Laura Skandera Trombley, the University president. 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.

The PLC is open to parents and guardians of all Southwestern University students. 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.

Please consider joining the PLC. Your involvement and insight can make SU better for every student, including yours.

GO PIRATES!

All the best,

Kimberly Dowling, P’28 and Tim Dowling P’28
Parents of Ace, Class of 2028
