150 McCombs alumni and recent grads connected via Zoom for Alumni Day.
Alumni Day 2023 invited all McCombs alumni to learn about the myriad of tools available to them to stay connected, increase career opportunities, and continue sharpening their skills post-graduation.
Christine Burdell, Director of Alumni Relations, led the program, which viewers accessed through Zoom. Sarita Soldz, Senior Director of the Career Management for Working Professional Programs and Alumni, was also on-hand to provide guidance on how to best utilize Career Management tools.
Topics included how to connect with local alumni chapters, keeping involved through events, and an introduction to various social media channels, including McCombs Connect. At the end of the program, guests were invited to join breakout sessions based on their career focus, where they could network and visit with other alumni from around the world.
