This meetup is for all students who have been accepted into Summer 2024 programs through the McCoy College of Business. Come to this session to pick up your gift from the McCoy College of Business, learn about the passport renewal/application process, and get inside tips to begin applying for several relevant scholarships.
Visit to Continental
2-4 pm | New Braunfels
You may think of Continental as a tire company. While that is their history, the majority of company revenue no longer comes from tires. Join us for this in-person tour when we visit the Continental manufacturing facility in New Braunfels, Texas. This state-of-the-art facility, opened in 2022, produces many radar devices and sensors used in vehicles across the country. As automated driving becomes mainstream, Continental will play a main role in getting us there. There are limited spaces available for this exclusive tour, so please sign up early.
Study Abroad Information Session for Parents/Guardians
6-7 pm | Zoom Session
This information is designed specifically for parents who are planning to or considering sending their students abroad in 2024. In the session, Dr. Seth Frei, Assistant Dean for Program Assessment and Global Engagement in the McCoy College of Business, will share his experiences in leading several Texas State programs and will answer questions from parents and loved ones. Note this session is just for parents, not for students.
Friday, Nov. 17
