Our Vision
Boaz Commons will be a family—a place where friendships go a step further into the tight-knit community that cares for and challenges each other like brothers and sisters and a place where Boaz residents, affiliates, and alumni can always call their home-base.

Compassion

Residents of Boaz care for the well-being of their fellow residents and all SMU students. Furthermore, Boaz residents are empathetic and take action to address the academic, emotional, and physical needs of those around them.
Integrity
Integrity
Boaz holds integrity as a value in and outside the classroom. Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is looking. Integrity looks like not vandalizing school property, picking up a $100 dollar bill and turning it in to lost and found, and picking up a piece of trash and putting it in the trash can.
Zeal
Zeal
Residents are passionate and excited about being a part of the Boaz community. This enthusiasm allows for residents to build stronger bonds with each other, seek involvement within Boaz, and ultimately create a true sense of pride for those who are a part of the Boaz Residential Commons.
