Pavielle Chriss is from Plano, TX and attended Plano West Senior High School. She is a proud member of SMU’s Class of 2007 and graduated with a B.A. degree in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. As a student at SMU, Pavielle was very involved serving as a Student Representative to the Board of Trustees Student Affairs Committee, President and Vice-President of the Association of Black Students, Student Foundation Ambassador, and member of the University Judicial Council. Because of her continuous efforts above and beyond the call of duty during her four years as a student at SMU, Pavielle received the “M” Award, which is the most highly coveted recognition bestowed upon students, faculty, and staff on the SMU Campus.

Pavielle worked in the admission office throughout her undergraduate career as a telestang, student assistant, campus visit coordinator, tour guide, and intern. She enjoys sharing her experience as an undergraduate student at SMU with prospective students and families!

Why SMU? Attending SMU truly has been an investment with amazing returns. From my experience, SMU provides individualized attention and unique opportunities and resources unmatched by any other university.
