In between studying and more studying, there’s always time to discover new interests. Take in a lecture by a visiting national leader. Join the soccer club. Work on the school newspaper or try mastering judo. SMU offers hundreds of activities to help you explore, learn, and lead – right here on campus.

Get involved. SMU offers nearly 180 organizations, and at least one of them has your name on its roster. Whether you choose to serve or to lead, campus organizations develop team-building skills that are critical for success in all professions.

If you’re interested in cultural events, you’re in luck. SMU hosts more than 500 performances, concerts, and exhibits every year.

Interested in hearing a former president, prime minister, or other world leader? They come for the Willis M. Tate Distinguished Lecture Series, which features an afternoon forum for students. You also can learn from acclaimed choreographers, directors, actors, and musicians, like Wynton Marsalis, who visit campus for special programs.
