Student Organizations and Leaders
Whatever your interests, you’ll find a Longhorn to share them with. You can join one of more than 1,000 student organizations on campus and find leadership opportunities, too.

Join Student Organizations Across the Forty Acres

Being involved in a student organization is a great way to make friends, gain leadership skills, build your resume and most importantly, have an impact in an area of interest to you. You can find opportunities in the honors program, at McCombs, or across the university.

Every Canfield BHP student is automatically a member of the Honors Business Association (HBA), the program’s official student organization. HBA puts on more than 50 events a year which span social, professional, philanthropic and academic interests, and nearly every event is free.

In addition to HBA, there are many opportunities to get involved in Canfield BHP student positions, such as:

  • Volunteer Positions
  • Discover CBHP Co-Chair

  • Hometown Recruiters
  • Research Interest Group (RIG) Mentor
  • Study Circle Supporters
  • Sophomore Social Co-Chairs
  • Leadership Kickoff Co-Chairs
  • Make-a-Mark Committee Member

Some positions are paid and others are unpaid.

Guide McCombs In the Steering Committee
The Canfield Business Honors Program Steering Committee serves to foster and increase communication between faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Each semester, the Steering Committee hosts town halls for Canfield BHP students to share input with the program’s faculty and staff.
Lead In the Student Ethics Board
The Ethics Board aims to promote academic integrity, and ensure all members of Canfield BHP uphold the Honor Code. It serves as a resource for students and staff on ethical issues and principles. The Ethics Board's goal is to create a strong ethical reputation for the Canfield Business Honors Program and The University of Texas, and to foster an environment of integrity.
