Southwestern AD Ken Ralph will retire on December 16 after four-plus years leading the Pirates. Ralph: “I'm so grateful to have been able to serve Southwestern University. The students, staff, and location combine to make this an amazing place. Looking back over 24+ years in the AD chair, I'm humbled by the experiences I've been able to enjoy. I'm especially grateful to the thousands of students who have allowed me to be a part of their life's journey. The student interactions make the job special.” (link)
