Years at SMU: 12 years

Favorite thing about SMU: The students! I enjoy watching our students grow up right in front of me.

Favorite place on campus: The Student Center. It always has a ‘buzz’ about it.

Favorite place in Dallas: One of the many professional sports arenas such as the American Airlines Center, The Ballpark in Arlington, or Cowboys Stadium and the 60 yard long jumbo screen.

Favorite restaurant near Campus: Peggy Sue’s Barbeque. It is a staple of Snider plaza, which is a shopping and dining mall right across the street from campus.

What I recommend during your stay in Dallas: After you visit campus, explore Victory Park in downtown Dallas.
