"In the Tower Scholar classes, we learned that in policy you always want to go back to the constituents and ask them what they want. So early in the campaign before we had a strong platform we went out and walked neighborhoods and asked people what they wanted from a candidate. You can’t be out of touch and make policy.”
—Kovan Barzani '17 (economics, public policy and management majors), campaign manager, Jim Burke for Texas House District 114
What SMU students learn in the classroom shapes them to make a bigger impact in their communities. Read more about Kovan's SMU experience: https://goo.gl/Ix2L6d

"I wouldn't be working on the Hill without doing internships in different disciplines. Who else but an SMU Meadows student can say they were published on the front page of a newspaper in a top five media market and interned for a past President in the same school year? My professors gave me the tools to be one of the best in any of the fields I could have pursued, and that is the best kind of job security."
—Natalie Yezbick '15 (journalism, public relations and strategic communications, and communication studies), press assistant for Senator John Cornyn (R-TX)
