For the last several years, SMU has tried to position itself as Dallas’ school. And now, with Kevin Jennings leading the university’s best team in 40 years, it finally feels real. Our August issue details Jennings' winding local journey from East Dallas through South Dallas and up to the Park Cities. But there’s more to SMU life than football. We map out a "Grown-Up's Guide to Campus" that helps readers take advantage of everything the Hilltop has to offer—no enrollment required. We ask new SMU president Jay Hartzell his thoughts on the infamous Pony Up hand sign and where he’ll live on campus. We even delve into the aesthetics-driven (and slightly unhinged) world of SMU's top sororities.
SMU is more than a Boulevard, a business school, or its "rich kid" reputation. And there’s never been a better time for Dallas to embrace it.
