4th Annual McCombs Black Alumni Association Gala
About this Event
Join the McCombs Black Alumni Association for our 4th Annual Gala — an unforgettable evening celebrating excellence, community, and impact under this year’s theme: By Design.
By Design reflects the intentionality behind every success story, every connection, and every future leader we help shape. From cultivating meaningful relationships to creating pathways for Black MBA students at Texas McCombs, this evening honors the power of purpose-driven community and the legacy we are building together.
Guests will enjoy an elevated night of celebration featuring:
- Inspiring stories and scholarship impact
- Networking with alumni, students, and supporters
- Dinner, music, and entertainment
- Recognition of leaders making a difference
- Opportunities to invest in the next generation of Black MBA excellence
Every ticket purchased directly supports MBAA scholarship initiatives and programming designed to increase representation, foster belonging, and strengthen the Black MBA community at Texas McCombs.
Whether you are an alum, student, corporate partner, or friend of MBAA, we invite you to celebrate with us as we continue building our legacy — intentionally, collectively, and By Design.
Note: We will celebrate with the Official Gala on Friday the 18th followed by a Tailgate on Saturday the 19th.
