44th Annual Women’s Symposium

Created in 1966 as part of the University’s 50th Anniversary celebration, the Women’s Symposium is the longest continuously running program of its nature in the country and one of SMU’s oldest and finest traditions. This annual forum brings together women and men of differing ages and ethnic backgrounds to examine and discuss topics of national interest. The Symposium is the product of a year’s work by joint committees of students, faculty, and community leaders. The program features nationally recognized speakers as well as topical seminars and workshops conducted by students, community leaders, and SMU faculty and staff.
