Awards season is here, and Meadows students are doing it right.

As the semester comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to celebrate our CCPA Fellow seniors and everything that made their time on the Hilltop so special. We asked all graduating CCPA Fellows to share what they will miss most about SMU — whether that’s a tradition, a favorite place, a person, or a core memory that shaped their experience here. Through their SMU graduation reflections, these seniors cherish everything from walks along the Boulevard to late-night study sessions and spontaneous hangouts at Homebar and Barley. Their stories remind us just how much SMU feels like home. Here’s to reminiscing on four fantastic, formative years at SMU — and looking ahead to all the future holds.
