The Chairs Speak: Alumni Business Council

Bhargav Srinivasan, 2011-2012 Alumni Business Council Co-Chair

Hey there, freshman! I am fourth-year member on UBC, and I’d like to discuss opportunities for you to grow and develop through Business Council.

1. Meticulous project management – Council hosts over 40 events a year toward the goal of offering career development opportunities, academic and faculty-related enrichment, and a channel for students and student organizations to connect with each other. By joining committees and eventually becoming chairs and board members, you will have the opportunity to understand the detailed thought and planning that goes into organizing a class-A event.

2. Peer representation – Council acts as the representative body of the 4,400 undergraduate business students at McCombs by voting on university-wide legislation and serving as a concentrated voice for student issues. Every member of the council has the privilege and duty of being one of the voices that impacts the quality of student life and academics by listening to what their peers think and channeling those opinions into actionable commentary.

3. Friendships for a lifetime – While the previous points are skills you develop through service to McCombs, making friends and becoming apart of the UBC family are inevitable once you join! Whether through meetings, committees, or events, you will find a group of people with one major commonality (serving the school) that will be your family throughout college!
