Southwest President Tracy D. Hall kicked off the College’s third Leadership Retreat August 16, 2021, with the theme, Out of Adversity Comes Opportunity: Harnessing Collective Intelligence. The phrase, “Out of Adversity Comes Opportunity,” is attributed to Benjamin Franklin and perfectly sums up Southwest’s transformative journey since Dr. Hall joined the College as president in 2015.  When Dr. Hall arrived, Southwest was facing enormous challenges, including a 7-year enrollment decline, bogged down internal processes and a fractured culture. Southwest joined Achieving the Dream and ushered in an era of transformation that saw the College reinvent the way it does business and reimagine the student experience. The results were Achieving the Dream Leader College status in 2020 and the Bellwether Award for Planning, Governance and Finance in 2021.
