If you’ve been impacted by the storm, support is available. Visit our new Hurricane Melissa Resources page [link directly to page] for academic, wellness, and community supports available to SMU students.
Good health and wellness come from a balance of mental well-being, physical activities and finding the right support. When you feel your best, you do your best. Browse our university resources to find help when you need it.
