Reggie Dupard: From SMU Success to Inspiring Future Leaders
An SMU Athletics Hall of Famer, 2021 SAM Award recipient, and former NFL first round draft pick, Reggie Dupard knows firsthand how education, opportunity, and exposure can change a young person's life.
For more than 30 years, Reggie and his wife, LaChanda have dedicated themselves to helping young people discover their potential through Fit and Faithful Living and personal relationships.
Reggie's mission is simple: Expose young leaders to places, people, and experiences that inspire them to dream bigger, believe in themselves, and achieve great things in life.
Bringing students to SMU and other universities is more than a campus visit. It is an opportunity to help them see possibilities they may have never imagined for themselves. MORE HERE
