Tracy Anne is passionate about helping graduate theology students—whether studying on campus, in a hybrid format, or online—connect with the people, resources, and opportunities that enrich their experience at Perkins School of Theology. She works to ensure that all students can engage meaningfully in the life of the Perkins community while also connecting with student services available through SMU and ministry opportunities in their local communities.

Are you interested in joining a student organization—or starting a new one? Are you looking to build friendships with other students or become more engaged in the Perkins community? Do you need employment opportunities, housing resources, or connections with ministry and service opportunities? Tracy Anne is available to help you navigate these resources and discover meaningful ways to become involved throughout your time at Perkins.

You will often find Tracy Anne in worship, welcoming new international students, gathering with students during community meals, hosting virtual and hybrid community events, and cheering on the Mustangs at SMU athletic events. Whether you are on campus or participating from a distance, she is committed to helping you feel connected, supported, and at home in the Perkins community.

As a United Methodist, Tracy Anne values the rich ecumenical diversity of the Perkins student body and is committed to fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment for all students. She welcomes your questions, fresh ideas, and perspectives as together we seek to fulfill the Perkins mission of equipping persons for faithful leadership and Christian ministry in a changing church and society.
