McCombs Recruiter Summit Draws Top Companies to Austin
Careers Services departments from across McCombs hosted their annual McCombs Recruiter Summit
April 18, an all-day event which brought more than 100 recruiters from top companies to UT Austin. “This event is one of the many factors that helps draw an ever-increasing number of organizations, 350, to recruit at McCombs,” said Bill Fleming, assistant director of Texas MBA Career Management.

McCombs Green Team Celebrates Earth Day
 The McCombs Green Team is hosting an Earth Day event in the Faculty/Staff Lounge from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. April 22. Join us for some locally made bagels, organic muffins and banana bread. The first 100 people to stop by will receive a free “Green Tote” shopping bag. We will have information about biodegradable plates and utensils that you can order for your school events (and to help decrease McCombs’ carbon footprint). We will also have sign up stations for the Green Team, the Green Tips list and the upcoming “Green Means Go” event, hosted by the Undergraduate Business Council. Hope to see you there!
