Undergraduate Students
An important part of the college experience happens outside of the classroom, and SMU has no shortage of involvement opportunities, whether they be focused on service, leadership, or academics on campus.

Historically, the on-campus and Residential Commons leadership has played an integral part in maintaining the positive aspects of recognized SMU traditions. These include: competitive intramural teams, academic convocation, Commons-specific experiences, weekly Faculty-in-Residence traditions, Mustang Football, and more!
SMU strongly encourages undergraduate students to participate in leadership opportunities within your Residential Commons, as well as other areas of Residence Life & Student Housing (RLSH).
Discover your fit within one of these on-campus leadership opportunities.
Engage Dallas is a place-based community engagement initiative via SMU’s Residential Commons to address community needs focusing on south and west Dallas. The initiative is a long-term, university-wide commitment led by students to partner with local residents, organizations, and other leaders to positively impact the community. There is equal emphasis on campus and community impact stemming from the initiative. Think big and do good today.
