 The O’Neil Center for Global Markets and Freedom was established at SMU in 2008 by William J. “Bill” O’Neil (BBA, ‘55) and his wife Fay C. O’Neil to study the impact of competitive market forces on freedom and prosperity in the global economy. 

The center offers education and training for today’s forward-looking individuals who recognize the importance of globalization in changing the business environment in which we are all operating.
