Mustang mania
Once a Mustang, always a Mustang – that’s what you’ll hear from SMU students and alumni alike. That's because SMU is steeped in
tradition, pride, and spirit. There’s a spirit
of community that starts before registration and extends beyond
graduation. Gerald J. Ford Stadium (with Spirit Shop) rocks
with spirit on football Saturdays. During the season everyone gathers
on The Boulevard for food and fun before heading to the game.
Throughout the year our spirit also shines during Family Weekend,
Homecoming, the holiday Celebration of Lights, and
during everyone's favorite – Spring Block Party.
Colorful academic traditions and ceremonies welcome students into
the SMU community during Rotunda Passage and Opening Convocation,
and launch graduates as proud alumni at commencement ceremonies
and Rotunda Processional.
