Welcome!

It is our pleasure to welcome you as new or returning members of the SMU family!

2023 marks the 97th year that the SMU Mothers' Club has had the privilege of serving the students and parents of the SMU community. The SMU Dads' Club has a long-standing tradition of involvement as well. Our goal is to foster a spirit of community on the Hilltop, serving as a link between parents, families, and the University. We provide support for students, families, faculty and staff and promote parent and family involvement. Through annual events and by serving as goodwill ambassadors, the Mothers' and Dads' Club strives to make everyone feel at home at SMU.
