Tour Tuesday is here! This summer, we're taking you around SMU campus one stop at a time. ☀️ First up: The George W. Bush Presidential Center, one of the only presidential libraries located on a college campus.

At SMU, we believe excellence in athletics and academics should go hand in hand. As the landscape of college sports continues to change, we must build a framework that expands opportunities for student-athletes, preserves broad-based athletic programs and supports the long-term mission of higher education. When college athletics works well, it opens doors for students, strengthens institutions and creates communities that extend far beyond the playing field. dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…
