Community Life

Perkins School of Theology

Community Lunch

Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Perkins gathers as a community during the lunch hour to share in a meal and catch up on what is going on in each other lives. Community Lunch is also a time where students make announcements and reminders for all to hear. If you miss community lunch, you miss a great meal and the latest news!  Community Lunch is served in the Refectory in Prothro Hall from 11:45 am - 12:30 pm. Menus are posted each week at the link below and emailed in the Perkins ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ digital newsletter each Friday.  For more information please email Tracy Anne Allred, Assistant Dean of Student Life and Director of Community Engagement at tallred@smu.edu.

This Week's Menu

The "Perk"

Looking for fun and relaxation between classes?  The “Perk” (Selecman 106) combines the essence of a coffee shop and the comfort of home.   Coffee and snacks, refrigerator/vending machines, couches and conversations—the “Perk” is the perfect location for downtime.

CHAP (Community Hour at Perkins) Chats

On Tuesdays at 11:30 a.m., the Perkins community gathers to discuss interesting and relevant topics led by faculty members, guest speakers, and student organizations.    If interested in sponsoring a CHAP, please contact Laura Figura, Coordinator of Student Life at lfigura@smu.edu
