Student Campaigns

BBA Legacy

Inspired by the MBA Legacy Campaign and a campus wide effort to increase student involvement, Shara Ma and Scott Parks, both BBA ’10, decided to create an undergraduate student campaign. They shared their vision with the Undergraduate Business Council, which formed a committee led by Kelly Pallini, BBA ‘10.

For the inaugural campaign, the committee focused on creating a buzz about the importance of student giving. They raised $5,500 from more than 200 students.

The MBA Leave a Legacy Campaign

History

Since 1996, the Development and External Relations Office has collaborated annually with committees of second-year MBA students on a student-run campaign designed to allow MBAs to give back to the McCombs School of Business. The Class of 1996 provided this opportunity with the inaugural campaign in 1996, creating a strong MBA tradition and fueling the momentum for future campaigns.  The Class of 2007 set a record for highest dollar amount raised with almost $213,000 in pledges and the Class of 2009 had an impressive 99% participation.
