Dedman College and SMU Alumni Relations will present State Rep. Rafael Anchia ’90 discussing how the education he received at SMU laid the foundation for his future as a successful attorney, proud member of the Dallas Independent School District Board of Trustees and a state representative. The Alumni Connection Series program will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 29, in Room 133 of the Fondren Science Building on the SMU campus.
Anchia credits his undergraduate education at SMU with setting the stage for his thriving career in law and politics. He graduated from SMU in 1990 with a triple major in Spanish, anthropology and Latin American studies. He later graduated from Tulane University Law School. In 2004 he was elected to the first of his six terms in the Texas House of Representatives. He represents District 103, covering northwest Dallas County.
“I was grateful to get a scholarship to SMU and considered that my big break,” says Anchia. “SMU offers a world-class liberal arts education for those who are willing and able to avail themselves of it. It is an honor to come back and share my experience.”
The event is free and open to the public; however, reservations are encouraged. RSVP online, by phone at 888-327-3755 or by email at smualum@smu.edu.
