Careers Day
Brimming with energy, insights, and hands-on learning, the day brought students together for 'Ask Me Anything' sessions with career coaches as they explored overseas internship opportunities and snapped fun or formal photos. They also discovered their CliftonStrengths Top 5, played Brands Bingo, and tackled resume errors at the "Spot 5 Mistakes" booth ran by the SMU Career Champions.
ASO Staff Engagement
Our students are at the heart of everything we do. The Academic Services & Operations group brings together dedicated professionals to collaborate and innovate in support of the SMU student journey. Colleagues across the group share best practices, strengthen partnerships, and explore new ways to enhance the student experience - from enrolment to graduation and beyond. Through dialogue, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence, we continue to refine systems, processes, and services that empower our students to thrive.
