LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Graduate,

When we hear the word “commencement” this time of year, we often think of the end of a journey. And it is true that with graduation, today also marks the end of an academic process for you and for many, the conclusion of your formal academic education. And yet we call it commencement because it is also a form of beginning

The next stage of your life is full of possibilities. The degree you have earned is more than just an accolade or credential, it is also a calling to lead and to serve. Our university has long embraced its role in training future leaders who go on to serve society in countless ways. For your own contribution to this legacy, the skills, knowledge, creativity, and curiosity you developed as a Longhorn will serve you well.

Today we celebrate both your individual successes and our collective accomplishments. You have been part of artistic and creative works, technological breakthroughs, and acts of kindness and compassion that have helped others on and off campus. The Class of 2022 embraced its opportunities and faced its challenges – and our faculty, staff, and alumni applaud you for your dedication and resilience. It is truly an honor to come together in this moment and recognize your extraordinary achievements.

As you leave the Forty Acres and take your place as leaders and change agents, you do so with our full confidence. I am excited to see what you achieve, where your degree takes you, who you serve, and how you will change the world.

Congratulations and Hook ‘em!

Jay Hartzell, President

The

University of Texas at Austin

LETTER FROM THE DEAN

Dear Graduate, Congratulations! It is my great privilege to share in this momentous achievement with you and your loved ones. I am proud of you and grateful to the families, friends, and mentors who helped make this milestone possible.

The Class of 2022 is a notably unique and impressive group of leaders. You showed passion and empathy in the face of adversity, and you demonstrated grit and vision in a time of unparalleled odds. I am in awe of your resilience, and I know that you will take the challenges you’ve overcome and the lessons you’ve learned into the world and change lives.

You graduate at a pivotal moment in McCombs’ history — our centennial — and you are poised to launch into a new century of innovation, connection, and impact. As business leaders across the globe look to Austin, Texas for inspiration, they’re also looking to you to tell the world what’s next. I know that you’re up to the task. Your experiences, challenges, and success at UT have prepared you for this. You will innovate with purpose. You will make connections that never existed before. And you will lead with thought and empathy.

As you embark on your next chapter, I encourage you to uphold the BBA Community Values. Keep Integrity, Collaboration, Inclusivity and Ambition at the heart of your ideals. Foster responsible leadership in the business world and beyond. We are eager to see how you will change the world. Please come visit the 40 Acres often!
