Welcome to the Southwester!

The Southwester was Southwestern Michigan College's newspaper for more than half a century. It was developed and distributed by SMC journalism students. Today, our news stories are distributed on the college's website and shared on social media, and the Southwester has been transformed into a bi-annual magazine for the community, alumni, and donors to enjoy.

In each issue, you'll meet SMC alumni who have made a success in their careers by building on their degrees from SMC. You'll also learn about some of the exciting things happening at the college.
