Initiative Contact Information

It is estimated that 23% of SMU's undergraduate student body identifies as first-generation college students. To serve students best, we have established an initiative email address. Our team monitors this email daily and it helps us respond quicker. Reach out to us via email with questions, additional resources we can add to our website, or when you do not know where to start. We're here for you.
