MSM
Meet the MS Marketing Student Ambassadors
Connect with recent graduates and current MS Marketing students who can answer questions about their experience studying at Texas McCombs, career management/outcomes, and life in the program. Student ambassadors don't address admissions questions but can share their personal experiences as a MSM student.

  • Months of Work Experience: 38
  • “Talking to an ambassador after submitting my application was valuable to me for the extra insight I couldn’t get on the MSM webpage. The combination of an unconventional background, prior work experience, and living & studying in the UK, US and Canada makes me a great resource for answering questions from those with any of these commonalities.”
