As a grad of SMU Law School, I can suggest that you'll find
great value
in finding the academic background of all Texas high court
jurists, all
Texas appellate court jurists, all Texas federal trial and
appellate
jurists, and then, the relationship between various jurists
around the
world and SMU's International Law program. If you can get a copy
of The
Quad, especially, the last three or four issues, get them and
read them.
SMU's "contacts" list is not only very impressive, and very
international, but it's also very historic. Expect to find SMU
relations
in a great many matters of national and international
significance, in
the legal profession.

*Also in 1999, SMU dedicated the Laura Bush Promenade, a
sitting and garden area outside SMU’s Fondren Library Center.
Texas Governor George W. Bush funded the promenade as a
Christmas gift honoring his wife’s contributions to the
advancement of literacy and literature. In addition, seven of
the First Lady’s _Kappa Alpha Theta_ sorority sisters from SMU
honored her by giving funds to the library as a tribute to
their friendship. Then-Governor and Mrs. Bush participated in
the dedication ceremony. By coincidence, on campus that same
day was former President George H. W. Bush, who was at SMU to
deliver a major address. Father and son greeted each other on
campus and met with members of the media.*
*President George W. Bush*
*In 1999, then-Governor Bush gave SMU $250,000 to fund the
Laura Bush Promenade, a sitting and garden area outside SMU’s
main library center. He gave the promenade in honor of his
wife’s contributions to libraries, literacy, and education. He
and his wife participated in the dedication of the Promenade
in April 1999.*
*On May 15, 1999, then-Governor Bush gave the address at SMU’s
84th annual commencement ceremony. He began his speech by
saying: “The best decision I made in life was to marry into
the SMU family.”*
*In August 2000, as Republican Presidential nominee, George W.
Bush returned to campus to kick off his presidential campaign
in Texas with a rally at SMU.*
*President and Mrs. George H.W. Bush*
*George W. Bush’s parents are also no strangers to SMU. Former
President George H. W. Bush gave the address at SMU’s 77th
annual commencement ceremony on May 16, 1992. In April 1999
former President Bush spoke as part of SMU’s Willis M. Tate
Distinguished Lecture Series. Then-First Lady Barbara Bush
spoke as part of the series in April 1998.*
*Vice President Dick Cheney*
*_Vice President Dick Cheney also has ties to SMU_. He served
as a diplomat-in-residence at SMU’s John Goodwin Tower Center
for Political Studies in March 1996. Later that year, Cheney
was named to the SMU Board of Trustees. On May 17, 1997 he
gave the address at SMU’s 82nd commencement. In April 1999,
Dick Cheney was featured as a panelist at the AT&T Lecture of
SMU’s Willis M. Tate Distinguished Lecture Series. In summer
2000 Mr. Cheney was re-elected to another term on the SMU
Board of Trustees; he resigned in August 2000 when he became
the Republican candidate for vice president.*
*Secretary of State Colin Powell*
*In 1997 General Colin Powell received the first Medal of
Freedom Award given by SMU’s John Goodwin Tower Center for
Political Studies at Dedman College. In 1999 he returned to
campus to present the second award to former Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher. General Powell also has spoken at SMU
through the Willis M. Tate Distinguished Lecture Series.*

the president. She graduated from SMU in 1977 with bachelor’s
degrees in English and journalism, receiving top honors in
both.

degree in theology in 1981 from SMU’s Perkins School of
Theology. He is a member of SMU's Board of Trustees, along

the Bush Inauguration in Washington. Among SMU board members
attending was board Chair Ruth Altshuler. Nearly 100 SMU
Mustang Band members, cheerleaders and pom squad members
performed in the Inaugural Parade, and a group of 18 SMU
Corporate Communications and Public Affairs students worked as
volunteers for the inaugural events. In addition, a photograph
of Laura Bush taken for SMU Magazine by university
photographer Hillsman S. Jackson was chosen by her as her
official inauguration photograph and appeared in all
inauguration publications.*
