The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs also serves as a resource to students and families needing assistance solving a problem or navigating the university. You may use the SMU Round-Up / One-Stop Problem Solving page to contact a university department or to post a question.
SMU has innumerable opportunities for students to: become involved in the life of the university; develop their leadership skills; nurture their “mind, body and spirit”; prepare for careers and for graduate school; understand the responsibilities of living and studying in a university community; and develop life-long friendships with classmates who hail from all over the United States and the world.
Whether you are a student, parent/family member, a faculty or staff member, I encourage you to use this website as a resource for valuable information about the division of student affairs and issues of importance to the student experience at SMU.
Sincerely,
Lori S. White, Ph.D.
Vice President for Student Affairs
