Students will benefit from mentorship by Pinnacle executives, providing a valuable foundation for their professional journeys. Pinnacle will also offer students international exposure as the company expands its global reach. Dr. Deirdre Mendez, professor of International Business and Director of CGB, firmly believes that “In today’s business landscape, business has no borders, and colleges and universities have a duty to help students maximize their potential in the global workforce. This collaboration with corporations like Pinnacle offers life-changing experiences beyond the classroom.”

The amalgamation of an updated curriculum, relevant course offerings, mentorship, and experiential learning will undoubtedly equip International Business students at Texas McCombs with the essential tools for success in an ever-evolving workforce.
