On January 19, 2021, SMU participated in a nationwide Evening of Remembrance to commemorate the lives lost to COVID-19. Since the start of the pandemic in March of 2020, over 400,000 Americans have passed away from COVID-19. Seeing the Hilltop lit up in blue reminded the campus community of the pandemic’s impact across the United States.
As we look to the start of the Spring 2021 semester, it is important to continue in campus-wide efforts to keep students, faculty, and staff healthy and safe. For more information on how SMU is facing the pandemic, please click here.
