Mustang proud
‘Atmosphere mattered’
As an undergraduate, Myles Boateng ’22 found his greatest friends in the Mustang Band and in his Residential Commons. “SMU had the vibe I wanted,” notes the recent graduate, who is back on the Hilltop for his master’s degree in counseling.
Making use of opportunities
Hannah Clark ’23 started her undergraduate pursuits at community college, which proved to be a smart move since it gave her time to discover personal strengths and exactly what she wanted from a university experience when she transferred to SMU.
Building bridges
Ana Rodriguez ’03 found power in feeling like an outsider and now leads an SMU Cox School of Business program that helps students and executive-level employees from underrepresented backgrounds transform their lives and careers.
