Social Change and Intercultural Engagement

Social Change and Intercultural Engagement connects students with opportunities to engage with and learn from the SMU campus, Dallas community, and beyond. The office prioritizes advocacy and awareness through immersive community engagement experiences and social justice education.

In SCIE (pronounced: sky), we help students get connected to experiences they’re passionate about and provide support through our programs. Unsure where to start? Stop by our office in Hughes-Trigg Student Center Suite 218 (Level 2). We’ve got a hangout room and staff who are eager to help you find what you need to get involved!
