Steve McElroy, BBA ’81, knows how to bet on himself. One day in 1988, he sent a letter to business magnate and former presidential candidate Ross Perot about an invention he came up with. Miraculously, Perot loved the idea, and the two went into business together. Years later, at 37, McElroy—who at the time had never picked up a paintbrush—left the business world to pursue painting. Since then, he’s sold more than 3,700 works of art. Read more here.

More than 200 Longhorns turned out for the annual MBA Reunion. Among the many MBA Graduate attendees, classes of 2013, 2008, 2003, and 1998 were commemorated as we celebrated their 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-year reunions. Graduates enjoyed a tour of the brand new Robert B. Rowling Hall and lectures led by favorite Texas McCombs Faculty members at the MBA Reunion conference. Prior to Texas’ rivalry football game against Baylor, alumni and their families enjoyed a full spread pre-game BBQ tailgate along with special guests, Longhorn Singers and the beloved balloon artist.
The rain didn’t put a damper on the reunion, but instead, helped inspirit the big Longhorn win against Baylor! See the full album here.
