McCombs Faculty Speaker Series

The McCombs Faculty Speaker Series brings faculty 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 the McCombs School. “The knowledge that faculty impart, and the interchange of ideas that occurs, provides an interesting dimension to the lectures,” says Jennie Loev, MBA ‘03 and director of MBA Alumni Relations.

Contact your local chapter president if you would like to help set up a faculty speaker visit with your chapter. Assistance is needed in securing venues, obtaining refreshment donations and gaining event sponsorship.
