2016-'17 Verse of the Year
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

Exploring innovative solutions

SWU business students explored various issues facing society, including homelessness, domestic abuse, addiction, abandoned pets and the need for youth-oriented sports programs and developed organizational plans for tackling these and other needs in the community and providing solutions. They created target demographics and goals, presented them to classmates, and displayed them in December at the Jennings Campus Life Center.

Childs Hall has been an integral part of 70 years out of SWU's 110 year history. It has been home to many students across the years with a multitude of memories housed within its walls and is one of the oldest structures still standing on the Central campus.

Constructed in 1947, Childs Hall has stood the test of time very well. To ensure it lasts 70 more years, Southern Wesleyan’s Office of Advancement has launched a new $1.5 million micro campaign to breathe new life into this historic residence hall and ensure a high quality living environment for future generations of students to enjoy.
