Alumni
Shipmates: Mike Rossman ’73 and Christine Kettle Bowman ’93
Since the days of Claude Carr Cody and Laura Kuykendall, the Southwestern community has been built upon mentorships and friendships to create the network that we have today.

In each issue of Southwestern magazine, we will highlight a conversation between two “Shipmates” (e.g., alumni and their faculty/staff connections) and share their story within our strong Pirate network. And so, we begin where all Pirates start their journey, at the Admission process. In this issue, we will share the connection between Mike Rossman ’73 and Christine Kettle Bowman ’93 and how they have started the Southwestern network for over 1,500 alumni in the last 20 years of recruiting prospective students.
Read the latest Shipmates’ article in Southwestern magazine. In their Shipmates’ story, Mike and Christine shared a tradition within the Office of Admission, the Admission Staff Soundtrack. We are pleased to bring you the 2013 Soundtrack.
