Join Dean Alexis Stokes and colleagues from around the state for the 2025 Council of Texas Business Deans Annual Meeting. We will gather at a pivotal time for higher education -- marked by rapidly shifting demographics, economic pressures, evolving employer and student expectations, technological disruption, and a complex political landscape. These macro-environmental challenges test our agility as academic leaders, but they also present powerful opportunities to collaborate, reimagine, and lead with purpose. We look forward to the rich conversations and bold ideas that will emerge from our time together. AACSB will also be on hand as a partner in our dialogue.

Thank you for the important work you do and for being part of the collective effort to shape the future of business education in Texas. We look forward to seeing you in Austin! Toppers Up!
