Alumni Board

The Alumni Board is a dedicated group of volunteers who represent all undergraduate, graduate and future SMU alumni. They work in concert with the Annual Giving and Alumni Relations staff as a  conduit for the alumni community to the SMU Board of Trustees and other internal and external University constituents. The goal of the SMU Alumni Board is to create a thriving alumni community that meaningful engages alumni and parents today and for years to come.
