Chief Roxana Kennedy
Our distinguished 2025 Honoree!
Chief Roxana Kennedy is a force to be reckoned with. Her path to success has taken many twists and turns, one of which brought her to Southwestern College where she attended the Police Academy and launched her career in law enforcement.
We are deeply proud to call her an alumna, and look forward to celebrating her numerous achievements at this year's Jaguar Awards Luncheon.
This year's theme is...
007
For our 10th anniversary, we're delving into the glitz, glamour, and mystery of international spies as we celebrate one of our most prolific local crime fighters.
We anticipate that you will be shaken AND stirred as you learn how much your support can change the lives of Southwestern College students.
