Welcome to the HilltopWe are excited your student is at SMU! There is so much to explore and discover. Consider this colorful calendar your customized SMU reference folder – filled with important dates, phone numbers, valuable information and essential resources. From the traditional Rotunda Processional through Dallas Hall to the Opening Convocation, we hope you will savor every precious moment as a new Mustang family. And, be assured we will be with you every step of the way. No matter what path your student chooses, our friendly students, involved faculty and knowledgeable staff stand ready to help. We invite you and your student to take full advantage of their wisdom and perspective as you embark on your new adventure together. In this calendar, you’ll find easy ways to connect with a complete range of support services, including:

• Academic Center for Excellence (New)• Disability Accommodations and Success Strategies• Hegi Family Career Development Center• Office of Student Success and Retention (New)• Office of the Dean of Students

Plus, in the coming weeks, your student will learn more about community service partnerships, our innovative Engaged Learning Program, intramurals, religious life groups, study abroad and undergraduate research opportunities. We encourage you and your student to embrace all that SMU has to offer – which includes time for serious study in six different libraries across the Dallas campus and one in Taos, New Mexico. Your student is never far from a comfortable and compatible study spot on campus. Whether it’s a conference room with a whiteboard and multimedia equipment in Hamon, or a Starbucks with caffeine and couches in Fondren, it’s easy to find your place at SMU.

We all bring different interests, passions, backgrounds, ethnicities, abilities and aspirations, but SMU is the place we all call home. We are committed to providing every student access to a robust liberal arts learning experience – delivered in a warm, caring and inclusive environment.

This is just the beginning, and we look forward to partnering with you to help your student soar. Please stop by to say hello – in the library or the student center. And, we’d love to see you during Family Weekend, October 4 – 6, 2019, or Homecoming, November, 7 – 10, 2019. Pony Up!

THE FIRST WEEKS

New freedoms, responsibilities,

laundry, classes, friends – the

first weeks are filled with new

experiences. Students may feel

exhilarated, exhausted and

overwhelmed all in the course of

one phone call home.

Roommate challenges are

college students’ most common

complaint. Be sympathetic, but

encourage your student to work

things out. Residence Life staff

members can help.

Meet with their professors. Check the course syllabus or professors’ websites for office hours.

Schedule a one-on-one

appointment with their subject

librarian for assistance with research papers and projects. Students can find one-on-one support in the library to meet their academic goals.smu.edu/askus

Attend workshops at the Library or request one “on-demand” to learn library basics, citations and how to avoid plagiarism.smu.edu/libraryworkshops

Visit the Altshuler Learning

parents and students to evaluate

how the year went and to set

goals for the coming fall term.

The Academic Calendar can

help families plan ahead,

including for finals, holidays

and campus events such as

Family Weekend.

smu.edu/calendar

Discuss opportunities to engage

in campus life beyond the class-

room. SMU offers programs in

which students can research

answers to big questions, get

involved in the community and

hone their leadership skills.
