Your membership directly supports the 1911 Group’s mission to connect and engage SMU alumni. Membership funds are used to sustain our operations, including website management, event planning and execution, programming, staffing, and the production of our SMU Stories series. We are committed to transparency and giving back to SMU. At the end of each calendar year, any excess capital reserves will be gifted to the university in the form of a 1911 Group Gift. As a member, you will have the opportunity to vote on where these funds are allocated, ensuring our collective impact aligns with the values and priorities of our community. Your investment in the 1911 Group strengthens alumni connections, enhances programming, and contributes to the future of SMU.
