TEXAS McCOMBS
HOMECOMING WEEKEND 

Join us for Homecoming Weekend on Sept. 29 – 30, 2023, for a half-day business conference with outstanding McCombs faculty members (in person), a BBQ tailgate before the home football game against Kansas, and a reunion reception for five-year class reunions (classes of ’18, ’13, ’08, etc.). Reconnect with your classmates, network with fellow alumni, and get back into the classroom!

Texas McCombs Homecoming will feature three main events. Pick and choose or attend all three!

Join McCombs faculty members and industry experts in the classroom for presentations and panel discussions on hot topics in business. This is an in-person event, but recordings of the sessions will be issued to those who register. CPE credits are available by request for all in-person participants.
