With spring in the air and the Houston sun out, the C. T. Bauer College of Business invited graduate students and their families to campus on a Saturday at the end of March for the 2026 Bauer Graduate Barbecue.
Every spring, the college’s Office of Graduate & Professional Programs (GPP) organizes the social event for students across MBA and MS programs to enjoy a lively backyard barbecue and relax to celebrate the end of the academic year.
At this spring’s event, GPP served up southern staples like brisket, sausage and potato salad. Outside, there was a bounce house set up for the younger kids to enjoy, along with a balloon artist, face painter and caricature station for all ages.
This end-of-year celebration may be what caps off a successful first year in Bauer’s graduate program, or the last campus event a student attends before graduation.
