Class unity and giving is the measurable standard for determining the success of any University. With that in mind, The Union is comprised of 8 first-years who carry the responsibility of inspiring their classmates to make their class gifts, and who work to promote unity within their class. The Union is a four year commitment, in which each following year, four additional students from each class are added to The Union to account for new, standout leaders that emerge within the class. The Union meetings are held in Hughes Trigg Student Center, Forum every Thursday at 3:30-4:30 p.m. |

Class unity is an important part of the SMU experience. With that in mind, Mustang 11 is a group of 11 first-year students selected to promote school spirit and traditions during their first year. Mustang 11 was named in honor of the University’s founding in 1911 and has been a prestigious organization instrumental in upholding school pride. |
