"As we leave this campus and head into the next chapter, remember this: The world is calling for innovators, leaders, and compassionate hearts, and I have no doubt that the SMU class of 2025 is ready to answer that call. Whatever life takes you—from boardrooms to classrooms, to startups to service—Let love guide how you lead, honor shape how you act, and truth ground how you speak. Stay connected, support each other, and remember: once a Mustang, always a Mustang." - Michael Castle '25, SMU Student Body President Congratulations, class of 2025! (fb)
