What do you like most about being a Hunt Scholar?

When I became a Hunt, I found myself with ninety-something new brothers and sisters. These new family members form a network that extends across SMU’s campus and deep into the Dallas community. No matter where I go, or what I do, there is always a helpful Hunt hand ready to volunteer for organizations or projects you may be working on. It is a wonderful community of motivated individuals, all of whom are looking to make a difference.
