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 News 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
