Southwestern University

Written by Lisa Bleich

Southwestern University is a small liberal arts college located 30 minutes outside of Austin in Georgetown, TX. Its president, Edward Burger (insert twitter handle) is impressive. His dynamism and commitment to engaging his students permeates the campus from his formal President’s dinners for students at his house to his philosophy that failure leads to success. A Southwestern education equals connection and engagement. Students are continually pushed to look at topics through multiple lenses and across disciplines, to find connections between math and art or music and science. Southwestern is a great school for students who want to learn to think critically and push themselves to take an active role in their lives and education.
