    Oh great, they took pictures of the people that worked at the Undergraduate Office. How representative…….

    I actually just graduated and worked there. I only recognize one person. Know your facts and then post please.

    Great job team! I love the photos.

    Didn’t Dean Gilligan announce free Texas Exes membership to all 2009 McCombs graduates? How do I act on that?

    Congratulations on graduating!

    All grads get a free one-year membership to Texas Exes. You can contact them directly for more info. Although it looks like maybe you’re automatically a member: http://www.texasexes.org/students/faq.aspx

    If you only graduated and now work there, then the students that are on the photos probably no longer work there. You wouldn’t recognize them anyway.

    Know your time frame and then post please.

    Although I know that African Americans are not large in number at McCombs, I do know that some were present at the commencement ceremony. Why are there not any pictured here?

    Thanks for writing- certainly not an intentional oversight or meant to be comprehensive coverage of commencement. In any photo spread we try to show a variety of people and scenes, but unfortunately we don’t always capture everything or everyone.
