SMU Guildhall: A Network of Game Changers
Every member of the SMU Guildhall family contributes to our story. We're proud of the successful past we've had as a program, watching our students and alumni grow into stellar careers, and are excited to see the bright future that's ahead.
We're also proud of the cycle of success we maintain. The SMU Guildhall faculty of industry leaders teach our students to be skillful game developers. Those alumni go on to become pros, leading teams of their own and publishing top tiles. And they return to give back to the next generation, imparting wisdom in a multitude of ways and hiring our talent. This cycle makes the SMU Guildhall family strong and connected, and it's one of the many reasons our community continues to evolve and expand in both impact and size.
