Give SMU Days is our virtual giving event May 17-19. It's open to SMU friends and alumni and focused on raising money for program scholarships. This event features opportunities to directly support and hear stories of impact from our students in nursing, occupational therapy , physical therapy, physician assistant, podiatry, and more. Last year we raised over $56,000. **This year we aim to reach $75,000.**
