SMU Cox School to Benefit from Establishment of New Technology Center

The recipient of a four-year, merit-based scholarship to attend Southern Methodist University (SMU), Zoe Reardon is studying business and world languages. A member of the Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD) honor society at SMU, Zoe Reardon also serves as a peer academic leader.

A private research university in Dallas, Texas, SMU is home to the Cox School of Business. Recently, the Cox School and the Lyle School of Engineering received a joint gift to establish the Linda and Mitch Hart Institute for Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The major funding infusion to establish the collaborative venture came from prominent Dallas business leaders and major SMU supporters Linda Wertheimer Hart and Milledge (Mitch) A. Hart, III.

The institute will enable the engineering and business schools to better integrate their expertise and resources to create innovative technology prototypes and develop business plans. The Hart Institute will reinforce SMU’s role as an “engine of regional economic development and job creation,” said SMU President R. Gerald Turner.
