The Hegi Family Career Development Center hosts the SMU All Majors Career and Internship Fair in both the spring and fall semesters, early September and February respectively.
The Board Fellows program was started in 2018. Beginning with this initial cohort, the SMU Board Fellows Program matches SMU undergraduate students with Dallas area nonprofit organizations after students complete a rigorous application and interview process. Serving as a Board Fellow sponsor provides you with the unique opportunity of allowing an undergraduate student to join your board as an ex officio member. Board Fellow terms match the SMU academic calendar running one academic year in length, September through May. For questions or to learn more about how to participate in the Board Fellows program, please contact Lauren Searway at lsearway@smu.edu.
For community partners of the SMU Engage Dallas initiative, we invite you to consider hosting an SMU intern during the summer! Designed for students participating in the Engage Dallas initiative, this program allows our community partners to submit internship position applications to help support their organizations goals and missions. Students will be recruited through various channels on campus. In order to participate in the Engage Dallas Internship program as an employer, you must be an Engage Dallas affiliated community partner. The Hegi Family Career Development Center will match accepted internship positions with a qualified candidate and manage funding allotment for the duration of the program. To learn more about the Engage Dallas Internship program please contact David Sommers at sommersd@smu.edu.
