The Community Coffee Hour Experience 

The Community Coffee Hour is the University’s way of creating a time and space for our local business and community leaders to network and experience the beauty of the University’s campus. Community Coffee Hour will feature delicious breakfast options, coffee, live music by the Department of Music, and more. While the event targets Johnson County's business leaders, everyone is invited, and admission is free. University President Ana Patterson offers brief remarks, and department leaders offer tours of the $16 million state-of-the-art nursing facility, Dinosaur Science Museum, newly renovated Wharton Auditorium, and the studio for 88.3 The Journey FM.

88.3 The Journey FM 

88.3 The Journey is a non-profit, listener-supported Christian radio station owned and operated by Southwestern Adventist University. In a world that needs hope, joy, and meaningful relationships, The Journey takes to heart the words of Micah 6:8. Their pledge to listeners is to share mercy as God shares His mercy with us and to walk humbly with you on this Walk of Life.

Wharton Auditorium 

Wharton Auditorium is the home of the Department of Music. Thanks to generous donors, the auditorium recently underwent major renovations.

The Department of Nursing 

In 2018, Southwestern Adventist University unveiled its brand-new Larry R. Moore Nursing and Administration Building. Beyond its beautiful lobby, welcoming office spaces, and extensive natural lighting, the building features a state-of-the-art skills lab and simulation rooms with technology that prepares students for their future nursing careers.
