Historical Tours
The SMU Center for Presidential History partners with Essential History Expeditions to offer a unique opportunity for SMU Students and the Dallas community to join together for once-in-a-lifetime history adventures. Led by CPH Director Jeffrey A. Engel and Essential History Expeditions’ Brian DeToy, these intergenerational tours offer students an option to study abroad and earn three credit hours, and also giving alumni and friends of the CPH the opportunity to join in the exploration of places where history happened (and to relive a bit of college life!).
Students, Alumni, & Friends
This coming June 2024, the Center for Presidential History will again be partnering with Essential History Expeditions on a D-Day trip. If you are interested or have any questions, please email us at CPHinfo@smu.edu..
