Community, Leadership, Involvement

We want you to get the most out of your time at McCombs, both in and out of the classroom. The Office of Student Life offers a host of opportunities to connect with your peers, participate in community events, and be a part of your school, your city, and your world.

Our programs, events, and student organizations are each designed to enhance your college experience, further develop your leadership skills, and boost your resume. We're here to help you establish your place at McCombs. Talk to a student recruiter today about ways you can get involved at McCombs!

The McCombs Leadership Program

The McCombs Leadership Program enables you to fine tune valuable leadership skills and build the connection between business and social impact.

The Leadership Program is a two-year program designed to promote your growth as a leader and to get you thinking about what kind of impact you want to make in the communities that surround you, without adding extra time to your degree. In many cases, you can complete the program by participating in on-campus activities, many of which you would have already wanted to be involved in! We'll help you stand out and know yourself as a change agent and leader. You will graduate from the program with an ability to demonstrate your skills and commitment to future employers and graduate schools.

Upcoming Events

We have 35+ McCombs Affiliated Student Organizations that work closely with our BBA Student Life team to bring our current students opportunities for engagement, community building, leadership and professional development. Our organizations host over 150+ events in an academic year! Check out a sample of what events are currently being hosted by our organizations on at McCombs for BBA students!
