McCombs School of Business
Exchange Magazine : 2007

a letter from the director

Dear MBA Alumni,

Greetings and welcome to the fourth edition of McCombs Exchange, the magazine distributed to more than 15,000 McCombs MBA alumni worldwide.

Since assuming my position at McCombs in June 2005, I have had the pleasure of meeting many outstanding alumni. I have been impressed not only by our collective alumni success, but also by the dedication and passion you have for fostering the legacy of our McCombs MBA degree. This enthusiasm for McCombs, combined with support from Dean Gau, has enabled the McCombs MBA Alumni (MMA) Office to grow and create new alumni offerings.

I am delighted to share the new initiatives that have been implemented with the help of dedicated alumni volunteers:

Alumni Awards Celebration: We partner with the MMA Advisory Board Alumni Recognition Committee and the Graduate Business Council to bring alumni and current students together to honor and recognize the success of our graduates during this signature annual event.

Alumni Business Conference: Alumni attend this annual event to learn from renowned McCombs faculty who share the latest research on important business issues.

Faculty Speaker Series: Through this new program, faculty travel to alumni chapters to discuss current business trends and topics. It is a great opportunity to learn from the latest research, gain faculty perspectives, network with alumni and stay connected to McCombs.

Leave A Legacy V/X (LAL V/X): Created by alumni leaders from the classes of 1996 and 2001, the LAL V/X Campaign was established to continue the Leave A Legacy tradition of the graduating class (launched in 1996 by Jason Watkins). This campaign provided funds for the MBA Alumni Endowed Excellence Fund.

MBA Alumni Endowed Excellence Fund (MAEEF) Awards: MAEEF provides resources to support new or existing student initiatives that have a broad and lasting positive impact for MBA students.

Mentorship Program: This new initiative provides an avenue for alumni and students to build dynamic relationships that will benefit them professionally and personally.

There are innumerable opportunities for you to foster the legacy of your McCombs MBA degree. The first step is to ensure that we have your contact information in the alumni directory.

Hook ’Em!
