History
The McCombs MBA Alumni Network (MMA Network), the alumni
organization for the Graduate School of Business, was established in
the fall of 1996 by students and alumni of the MBA program. The MMA
Network and the Alumni Advisory Board have been the force behind
many initiatives on behalf of alumni and the MBA program, including
our community-wide networking database, our MBA alumni magazine, the
alumni interview program, strategy conferences to aid new school
programs, networking events and 35 chapters around the world.
In the fall of 2002, the MMA Network Advisory Board voted to expand the current
Advisory Board to include class presidents and city chapter presidents. The
board also approved the name change of the alumni organization the
McCombs MBA Alumni Network.
Fostering the Legacy of the McCombs MBA Degree
The mission of the McCombs MBA Alumni Network is to increase the
value of the McCombs MBA degree by actively working with alumni,
students, and the school to develop programs that foster personal
and professional development and encourage social and business
exchange among the MBA Community.
To continue to cultivate the McCombs community, the MMA Network
collaborates with other important constituents throughout the school to
create pillar community events that promote interaction and exchange
between students, alumni, faculty, and friends for the McCombs MBA
Program.
In an effort to create and promote a strong alumni base, we also offer
local alumni chapters worldwide. Local chapters help maintain a local
point of contact and strong affiliation for McCombs graduates, provide
opportunities for McCombs MBA alumni to network and socialize, assist
with recruitment and encouragement of superior students for the MBA
Program, and offer McCombs representation in various geographic areas.
The focus of the organization is on the needs and interests of graduates of the Master of Business Administration Program. Services will be available to all McCombs MBA alumni with specific programs and activities targeted on the basis of regional and class affiliations. The McCombs MBA Alumni Network does not require dues for membership. All graduates of a McCombs School of Business MBA Program are automatically members by virtue of having attended the McCombs School of Business.
