On the last weekend of September 2015, there were several milestones at SMU. The Centennial, 100 years since the birth of SMU, and the announcement that the SMU Board of Trustees raised one billion dollars. Then there was the 25th anniversary of the Hamon Arts Library, which celebrated by hosting a magnificent, succinct exhibit on Fashion Design Sketches by the eponymous donor. Amidst the celebration, SMU and Meadows School of the Arts celebrated Homecoming. The Meadows family came together to came together to watch the parade, enjoy music and dance, see old friends, and visit with the community.
Photographer Kim Leeson was on hand to capture the moments. Photos we love:
