Golden giving fuels Íæż½ã½ãIgnited
During their 50-year reunion, the Íæż½ã½ãClass of 1973 presented combined gifts of more than $6 million to SMU Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow. The Golden Mustangs reunion was co-chaired by Íæż½ã½ãTrustee Tucker S. Bridwell ’73, ’74; James L. Deem ’73, ’77 and Katharine Wilson Deem ’73; Stephen D. Sims ’73 and Susie Frey Woodall ’73.
Over 150 members of the Class of 1973 donated to Íæż½ã½ãduring the 2022–2023 fiscal year. Throughout the SMU Ignited campaign, more than 300 alumni from the Class of 1973 have committed over $30.5 million to SMU.
“Our class cares deeply about Íæż½ã½ãand has been committed to donating our time, talents and treasure in so many ways,” said Bridwell. “Whether it’s serving on Íæż½ã½ãboards and committees or cheering on the Mustang athletics teams, we are proud of our connection to the Hilltop. That also shows up in our giving.”
Íæż½ã½ãis incredibly grateful to the alumni and donors who empower Mustangs by investing in the future of the University. We proudly celebrated the Golden Mustangs during May’s Commencement Weekend at an event in the Meadows School of the Arts’ Gene and Jerry Jones Grand Atrium.
