FAQ
What is the Big Event?
The Big Event is the largest day of collegiate-led community service in the country, started at Texas A&M University in 1982. We brought it to SMU in 2018, where it is slowly becoming a beloved campus tradition.
How do I get involved?
The day itself is a great way to start! Register for the Big Event (April 15th, 2023) in the spring and get ready to fall in love.
Additionally, we invite SMU students to apply for our leadership team every Fall semester. We also host The Not So Big Event every fall.
