SMU officials hope to raise $750 million during SMU Unbridled: The Second Century Campaign, a major fundraising program that will take place over five years. The campaign officially began two years ago, with the "quiet phase" raising $317 million. SMU hopes to raise the remaining 48 percent of the $750 million goal during the public phase of the campaign, which began on Friday in a celebration and luncheon at Moody Coliseum. (0) comments
