SMU just landed a $60 million gift from the O’Donnell Foundation to launch a powerhouse energy studies program and honors fund—one of the biggest donations in the university’s history. This means new scholarships, top faculty, and a cutting-edge curriculum that’ll prep students for high-demand energy jobs right here in North Texas. With Texas leading the nation in energy production, this move could reshape how Dallas grows its next generation of energy leaders. What do you think—will this help keep local talent in the area or attract more students to Dallas? #Education #College #Dallas
