The Office of Faculty Success

SMU is committed to faculty success by offering resources, research opportunities, a valuable professional network and so much more. Below you will find a wealth of information designed to help our faculty on campus and beyond.

Welcome to the Office of Faculty Success

We look forward to working with you.

The Office of Faculty Success supports all SMU faculty from the moment they arrive on campus. Below we have compiled materials that will support faculty on their journey, connect them fellow faculty and important information while also answering common questions. Faculty can get involved with the Office of Faculty Success through multiple programs or by working one-on-one with our staff members. Feel free to reach out to the Office of Faculty Success at facultysuccess@smu.edu.
