Alumni Involvement Around the World
International Business
In March, more than 250 McCombs MBA students set out for seven
different countries as part of the Plus Global Study Tours. Through
these tours, our students immersed themselves in different cultures
while they worked on group projects, met with local businesses and
governments, and explored the landscape. Excited for the opportunity
to interact with fellow McCombs MBAs, our alumni participated in six
receptions around the globe: Mumbai, India; Shanghai and Beijing,
China; Russia; Santiago, Chile; and Sao Paulo, Brazil. Dean Gau made a
special appearance at the reception in Shanghai.

Destination...Frankfurt
Each year, our German alumni and representatives from McCombs meet in
a different German city for a weekend of chapter updates, school news,
and social activities. This year from July 2-4, they'll meet in
Frankfurt. The group, including Dean George Gau, will kick off the
weekend with a Tex-Mex dinner and hear from a special guest speaker at
the chapter meeting, in addition to sightseeing Frankfurt. Always a
good time, the annual meeting draws up to 50 alumni from Germany and
surrounding countries.

Alumni Interviews: Making Our Presence Known
In our first year of mandatory, invitation-only interviews, we expect
to interview more than 1,000 prospective applicants. We could not have
accomplished this without the dedication and participation of our
alumni from around the world. This year, we have conducted interviews
in 35 different states and 28 different countries.
