Community Life
Community Lunch
Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Perkins gathers as a community during the lunch hour to share in a meal and catch up on what is going on in each other lives. Community Lunch is also a time where students make announcements and reminders for all to hear. If you miss community lunch, you miss a great meal and the latest news! Community Lunch is served in the Refectory in Prothro Hall Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m., Wednesdays 12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m, and Thursdays form 11:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Menus are posted each week on Wednesdays at the link below and d in the Perkins News digital newsletter each Friday. Please reserve by Fridays at 10:00 am. For more information please email Tracy Anne Allred, Assistant Dean of Students at tallred@smu.edu.

Looking for fun and relaxation between classes? The “Perk” (Selecman 106) combines the essence of a coffee shop and the comfort of home. Coffee and snacks, refrigerator/vending machines, couches and conversations—the “Perk” is the perfect location for downtime.
