About Engage Dallas
Engage Dallas is a place-based community engagement initiative via SMU’s Residential Commons to address community needs focusing on South and West Dallas. The initiative is a long-term, university-wide commitment led by students to partner with local residents, organizations, and other leaders to positively impact the community. There is equal emphasis on campus and community impact stemming from the initiative.
We encourage community organizations to learn more about the Engage Dallas framework, SMU's motivations behind the initiative, and our goals. Community organizations may also be interested in how the Engage Dallas initiative is experienced by SMU students. Explore the initiative's components and flow from our students' perspective.
