Proud to call Connor Kacena-Merrell a Longhorn. The freshman electrical engineering and business student made his College GameDay kick this weekend and pledged half his winnings to Building Tomorrow ahead of his kick 🤘 news.utexas.edu/2026/09/15/m…

Moderating Gloria Moncrief at the KBH Energy Center Symposium was a privilege. Raised in a family of legendary Texas wildcatters, she led the drilling of one of the deepest natural gas wells in U.S. history. Great to have her back at her alma mater.

New habit borrowed from a mentor: a book a month, then share what stuck. Book one’s biggest takeaway: trust is the most expensive commodity. Full reflection here: news.mccombs.utexas.edu/news…

My first hard hat tour of Mulva Hall was last Friday. Level 13 is being poured, windows are going in on the lower floors and 15 different trades are on site right now. Excited to watch this building take shape. 🤘

In 1998, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison was the commencement speaker when I graduated from Texas. Today, I had the chance to sit down with her and talk about the KBH Energy Center and the incredible opportunity ahead for Texas to shape the future of energy. 🤘

Great to get out to @Dell today with Stefani Sereboff and spend time with so many fellow Longhorns. Thank you to CFO David Kennedy and the entire Dell team for the terrific conversation, warm welcome, and continued partnership with Texas McCombs. 🤘

Few things beat the first day of a new academic year, especially surrounded by students who bring this much energy and heart to campus. Here's to a great year on the Forty Acres 🤘

Nothing beats mooov-in day energy. Today I got to welcome our newest Longhorns and their families to campus. Excited for what this year holds. Welcome home, Horns. 🤘

Great evening kicking off the year with our Working Professional and Executive MBA students 🤘

Last quiet Monday morning in GSB/CBA @UTexasMcCombs. One week until classes start for undergrads. 🤘

McCombs' Hüseyin Tanriverdi finds that mission-goal tensions in U.S. hospitals aren't one-off problems. They're structural. For managers: don't expect to solve every tension. Build the judgment and systems to manage them well. t.e2ma.net/click/agjnql/asca…

Proud to spotlight McCombs’ Jason Rosenblum, who spent the summer guiding high school students from around the world in examining AI’s role in education and the future of work. A thoughtful approach to AI education: education.utexas.edu/news/20…

Yesterday was a great day with the McCombs Leadership Team thinking together about how we build what’s next. Grateful for the energy, ideas, and commitment. And thanks to President Davis for stopping by and joining us for a photo. Hook ’em! 🤘

Walking over to Innovation Tower for our McCombs leadership team retreat today. And reminded how art inspires us and sometimes makes us laugh. 🤘

Today marks the end of my first month as dean of McCombs. I've spent it meeting, listening, and learning from this community. Texas' core purpose is beautifully simple: "To transform lives for the benefit of society." Grateful for the welcome, excited for what's next. 🤘

Grateful to Jillian and Daniel Herz for hosting Longhorn families last week. Great to share the evening with Interim Dean David Sosa, Interim Dean Anita Vangelisti, Dean Danny Stockli and VP Miguel Wasiewlewski, and to spotlight the energy and excitement for this fall 🤘
