UT Dallas Executive MBA

Last month, our first-year EMBA students sat down with two sitting consuls general for a conversation that felt incredibly timely.

Canadian Consul General Susan Harper and Mexican Consul General Luis Rodriguez Bucio joined us to discuss the issues defining North America’s near future: the 2026 review, energy integration, critical mineral supply chains, and the shifts already reshaping Texas industries.

It was a fascinating conversation, and our students left with a lot to think about.”

This session was made possible through the initiative and vision of Dr. Stephen Kiser and the support and involvement of EMBA alumnus Charles Gillis. We are sincerely grateful to them, and to Consul General Harper and Consul General Rodriguez Bucio for sharing their time, expertise, and perspective with our students.

Congratulations to the UT Dallas Executive MBA Class of 2026! 🎓

This milestone represents 21 months of hard work, growth, and commitment. Throughout the program, this cohort balanced demanding careers, families, leadership responsibilities, coursework, coaching, team projects, and an international study tour, all while continuing to show up for one another.

Their gift to the program says a lot about who they are as a cohort: thoughtful, generous, connected, and committed to leaving things better than they found them.

Cheers, Class of 2026. 🥂 We're lucky to have you as part of the UT Dallas Executive Education community!
