About this event

MBAA is thrilled to welcome McCombs alumni, faculty, students, and allies back to the Forty Acres for the 3rd Annual McCombs Black Alumni Association Gala!

This year’s theme is “In Bloom”. The event will be a momentous celebration for our McCombs community — one that provides connection, motivation, networking, and inspiration.

Join us on September 19th, 2025 from 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM in the Zlotnik Ballroom at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center to network and hear from a number of distinguished members of our McCombs community. Afterwards, we will get together to continue the fun (details to come!).

Then join us on Saturday September 20th, 2025 for a tailgate before the 7PM UT Football game!

Dress to impress in formal attire and come ready to build community, enjoy dinner, drinks, and strengthen the bonds we’ve built throughout our time at McCombs.

In addition to our gala, this weekend on the Forty Acres, you can also look forward to the Longhorns taking on the Sam Houston State Bearkats and other opportunities to connect during McCombs Homecoming weekend.

We hope to see you there! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at texas.mbaa@gmail.com, and stay tuned for more updates!
