Change starts with action. Better yet, an action that affects the world around you.
From students to faculty, staff to partners, there are ways for anyone to make a difference. Start today and keep coming back, keep taking action, and join the movement to change the world.
Play Your Part in Sustainability
Clean up a beach
We don’t need to stress enough how polluted our waters are. Beach Clean Ups will not solve the cause of our pollution, but it is time for us to clear the mess we have made. Sponsor, attend or organise one.
Make a gift
Pay it forward. With your gift, many of our students will be able to achieve their educational and career goals. Your gift to SMU will empower students, expand capacity, and enhance impact.
