Annual MBA Alumni Awards Celebration

The Annual MBA Alumni Awards Celebration takes place each fall and is one of the signature events of the McCombs MBA Alumni (MMA) Network and Graduate Business Council. It is a great opportunity for current students and alumni to connect and recognize the success of our graduates. Read about the 2007 event.

"It was great to meet alumni who maintain their enthusiasm for McCombs years after graduation and regularly participate in events. The casual conversations tied in with relevant speakers gave all of us opportunity to interact with alumni. The alumni were excited to hear about where McCombs is now and the daily lives of current students, our stories allowed them to travel back in time for the night."
~ Katie Jozwicki, '07.
