Today, March 11, is SMU’s annual Giving Day. Donations to Engage Dallas today will support our summer internship program. In partnership with the Hegi Family Career Development office, Engage Dallas offers students paid ten-week internships with our community partners in South and West Dallas.
Engage Dallas is a place-based community engagement initiative via SMU’s Residential Commons to address community needs focusing on South and West Dallas. The initiative is a long-term, University-wide commitment led by students to partner with local residents, organizations and other leaders to positively impact the community. There is equal emphasis on campus and community impact stemming from the initiative.
We are excited to announce the continuation of the Engage Dallas Summer Internship Program for the fourth year. This program provides the opportunity for our community partners to apply to host an internship experience and be matched with a qualified SMU student. Engage Dallas provides compensation to interns, so that the community partners do not have to. Supporting this project allows donors to contribute to meaningful career exploration opportunities for Mustangs while investing into our South and West Dallas community organizations.
Visit our site here to make a donation today to benefit these summer internships and our Engage Dallas community partners.
