Current Students
Since the University’s charter in 1840, Southwestern students have played an important role in its future. At Southwestern, students often choose to make a gift to the institution before they graduate; many make gifts every year they are enrolled and become members of the Brown Society. Southwestern is grateful for these student donors who are a vital part of the University’s vibrant future.
Legend
Brown Society Member
Formed at the end of the historic Brown Challenge (1976-1996), the Brown Society was created to honor the loyal donor, and the Brown Family, who led the vision of sustaining annual gifts from alumni and friends, and recognizes consecutive year giving at every level.
President’s Council Member
Southwestern University recognizes individuals who have given $1,000 or more in the fiscal year 2024-2025, and includes our Tower Society members who represent our most committed young alumni donors. Each President’s Council member is vital to the success of Southwestern and enriches the Southwestern Experience for students.
1840 Society Member
1840 Society members support Southwestern University through deferred gifts. These gifts, although they are planned now, will be available to benefit the University in future years. Southwestern University is grateful to 1840 Society members who are preparing for the University’s future today.
