Since 1915 incoming and outgoing Mustangs have gathered at Dallas Hall for a timeless tradition: the Rotunda Passage.
The freshman class of 2014 gathered at Dallas Hall and walked though the back doors, through the Rotunda Passage and onto the front steps of of the building.
“I felt really honored to be a part of an SMU tradition that the entire faculty, staff and student body recognized as a beneficial experience,” said Kellen Casey, an SMU freshman.
The next time Casey and his fellow classmates gather at Dallas Hall, they will be graduates walking into the building from the front and out the back.
“It felt surreal when I was walking through Dallas Hall. It was a magnificent experience because I could tell everyone around me was thinking about what was to come after graduation and about their future,” said Aleaks Bologna, SMU freshman.
