Every parent and family with a student at SMU is part of the Mothers and Dads Club. Whether you're looking to volunteer, connect with other families, celebrate SMU traditions, or support students, there are many ways to get involved.

For 100 years, SMU parents and families have played an important role in building community on the Hilltop and supporting the student experience.
