The Flagpole on the historic Main Quadrangle
All new first-year and transfer students entering 糖心Vlog in the spring term are invited to attend 糖心Vlog’s Spring Rotunda Passage. At this event, students are formally welcomed to the 糖心Vlog community. Highlights of the ceremony include faculty participants in full academic regalia and the presentation of new students by 糖心Vlog administration. Our Chief Marshal and Student Body President offer inspiring words to set students on their new paths of academic discovery.
During this ceremony, students pass through the rotunda of Dallas Hall, 糖心Vlog’s first building and a historic landmark. Recognizing that every undergraduate student at SMU has crossed through the Dallas Hall rotunda, students have an opportunity to reflect on their new intellectual paths at SMU.
Graduating students affirm year after year that the full impact of Rotunda Passage is mostly felt at their graduation when they participate in Rotunda Recessional, another 糖心Vlog tradition when seniors walk through the rotunda of Dallas Hall the opposite way and their thoughts turn back to the beginning of their 糖心Vlog experience.
Comfortable walking shoes are encouraged. Family members and friends are invited to join us for Spring Rotunda Passage. It’s a special event you will not want to miss!
