We are SMU alumni

For all who leave the Hilltop but for whom the Hilltop never leaves, this is our creed. We are bold, curious and creative individuals who are driven to think big and do good. We are courageous changemakers who work hard, play hard and strive to make the world a better place. We are champions for each other, our communities and the triumph of innovation in the face of challenge. We are primed to see the world as a place of limitless opportunities. We are SMU alumni.
