Extraordinary news from SMU History!

We are thrilled to celebrate our colleague Dr. Ariel Ron, who has been named a 2026 MacArthur Fellow!
Dr. Ron is the Glenn M. Linden Associate Professor of the U.S. Civil War Era in the SMU Department of History and Director of the Clements Center for Southwest Studies. His scholarship is reshaping our understanding of nineteenth-century American history, particularly the role of Northern agriculture in economic development and the expansion of federal power.
This extraordinary recognition is a remarkable achievement for Dr. Ron and a proud moment for our department, Dedman College, and the SMU community.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Ariel Ron on this exceptional achievement!

It was energizing for me and my fellow deans to hear President Jay Hartzell share ‘Mustang Charge: Accelerating SMU to the Forefront’ during his State of the University address and to see the ambitious and inspirational vision taking shape for SMU’s next chapter.

As dean of Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences, I am particularly excited about the opportunities ahead to advance transformative teaching in the liberal arts, expand the global impact of our research and scholarship, and to prepare students to become thoughtful, principled leaders.

These priorities are at the heart of what we do in Dedman College. Across the humanities, social sciences, and natural and mathematical sciences, our faculty and students ask important questions, pursue discoveries that deepen our understanding of the world, and bring ideas across disciplines together to address complex societal challenges.

I am grateful to the many members of the SMU community who contributed their ideas and perspectives throughout the strategic planning process. Now comes the exciting work of turning that shared vision into action!
