Dedman College Spotlight

The Dedman College Academic Spotlight is an opportunity for you to experience college life from the perspective of an SMU student. Open to high school seniors and first year transfer students, Spotlight will give you the chance to learn more about life as a Dedman College student and your intended major by sitting in on classes and meeting current students.

Since Spotlight is designed exclusively for students, parents and supporters may drop off their students and pick them up according to the schedule below. We hope that you will join us in person to experience this firsthand.
