Happy first day of classes, SMU Lyle! ❤️💙

It’s been a busy start to the semester, with Interim Dean Dinesh Rajan welcoming some of our newest undergraduate and graduate students to SMU Lyle. His advice as they begin the year: make your Lyle experience your own.

Explore beyond your field. Take advantage of the research, centers and opportunities around you. Connect with people who challenge your thinking. And follow what energizes you.

We’re excited to have the Lyle community together again on the Hilltop and can’t wait to see what our students learn, discover and accomplish this year!

As Dr. Nader Jalili concludes his tenure as Dean of the SMU Lyle School of Engineering, we thank him for his leadership and for the many contributions he has made to our community over the past three and a half years. As Lyle looks ahead, we share his confidence and excitement for the school’s continued momentum and all that lies ahead.

Under Dean Jalili’s leadership, Lyle has strengthened connections among engineering education, research and industry, while continuing to prepare students to become future-ready engineers for a rapidly changing world.

As he shared with the Lyle community, the growth we have seen in our research, classrooms and camaraderie belongs to this community — our students, faculty, staff, alumni, executive board members, industry partners and friends.

That community is the heart of SMU Lyle and the foundation for everything ahead.

With a new academic year just beginning, there is so much to look forward to — new students to welcome, new discoveries to make, new ideas to pursue and new opportunities to build together.

Thank you, Dean Jalili, for your leadership and commitment to SMU Lyle. ❤️💙
