Why Alumnus James R. Bowlin Gives Back to Westminster

Westminster College benefits in countless ways from its selfless alumni who consistently provide the institution with support. Our alumni network watches out for current students and one another, providing internships, job opportunities, support with various programs on campus, and financial contributions.

To highlight those who give back to the College financially, Westminster Today periodically runs a “Giving with a Purpose” feature that highlights the many reasons our generous alumni choose to give back to the College that gave to them first.

This month, we feature James R. Bowlin, ’86 KA, who majored in Political Science and Speech before earning a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law in 1989.

One of my greatest experiences was the semester of foreign study in London while I was at Westminster. The College also prepared me well for law school. I cannot think of a better way to give back than to create scholarships that enable others to experience those same things.”

Thank you, James, and all other Westminster alumni who give back to the College!
