The Distinguished Alumni Award is the highest and most prestigious award the University can bestow upon its alumni. The award is presented to an alumnus or alumna of SMU who has demonstrated a record of distinguished service and extraordinary achievement in a particular discipline, organization, or cause that brings distinction to the University. Each year, four individuals are chosen by the SMU Alumni Board Nominations Committee to receive this prominent award.
Each year, the SMU Alumni Board Nominations Committee also chooses one individual to receive the Emerging Leader Award. This award recognizes an outstanding SMU alumnus or alumna who has graduated since 1993. The same criteria and process for nomination applies to this award as to the Distinguished Alumni Award laid forth above.
In honor of SMU’s Centennial, this prestigious event has returned to SMU’s campus. Tickets and additional information will be provided this fall. Join us!
