Built by Alumni. Dedicated to the Legacy.
The 1911 Group was founded by two SMU graduates who wanted to strengthen the community from which they came. Founded in 2023 by Mitchell Brown (Dedman ’10, Cox MBA ’20) and Lindsey Marsh Brown (Law ’13), the organization provides a premier space for alumni to connect, collaborate, and build meaningful relationships that elevate the SMU legacy for generations to come.
