The McCombs School invited all alumni back to the 40 Acres for the inaugural Texas McCombs Homecoming Weekend. The two-day celebration included an all-day Alumni Business Conference, an evening Reunion Reception, and a Pre-Game Alumni BBQ Tailgate before the Texas vs. Oklahoma State football game. The entire weekend was hosted in our new state-of-the-art building on campus, Robert B. Rowling Hall. Over 200 alumni showed up for the fun-filled weekend. See all of the photos!
Alumni Business Conference
The weekend kicked off with an all-day conference on Friday. The conference included concurrent faculty presentations and two keynote speakers, John Goff, BBA ’77, and Lance Loeffler, BBA ’99, MBA ’04.

Reception for Reunion Classes
We were especially celebrating alumni who graduated from a reunion year during Homecoming Weekend! Graduates from the classes of ‘74, ‘79, ‘84, ‘89, ‘94, ‘99, ‘04, ‘09, and ‘14 were invited to a special reception Friday evening to network and reminisce about their time at the UT Business School.
Pre-Game Alumni BBQ Tailgate
On Saturday, alumni and their families came out for a tailgate with current Texas MBA students before the Texas vs. Oklahoma State football game. Tailgaters enjoyed a BBQ buffet, cold drinks, and other fun activities, like a photobooth and face painter for the kids. After the tailgate, many alumni went on to watch the Longhorns take a win over Oklahoma State – HOOK ‘EM!
THANK YOU to all alumni that joined us for a great weekend! Please keep an eye on the alumni calendar for other events you may be interested in attending.
