Encore
The Encore series is another great way to connect with students, faculty, and staff throughout the entire first-year. New Student Programs partners with other offices and organizations on campus to program events and provide important and relevant information on issues related to incoming students. The Fall and Spring semesters are packed with programs that pertain to life on SMU’s campus. Below, we have highlighted the theme for each month.
