The International Business Association is a student organization in the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University. Established in Fall 1998, IBA seeks to advance cross-cultural competence of students, knowledge of international business, and serve as the receiving organization for international students studying at Mays.
Our Mission
Interaction between domestic and international students in social and professional environments.
Opportunities to interact with international business executives and learn from their experiences.
Introduce international students to Aggie culture by participating in University traditions.
Opportunities to gain understanding of world events.
Providing avenues for securing mentoring assistance from former students engaged in international business careers.
Our Goals
Our goals are to improve and broaden the mindset of IBA members as well as increase the number of students who study and intern abroad, earn certificates in international business studies, and secure meaningful and rewarding careers in international business.
Things We Do
IBA has a 3 week rotational structure: General Meetings, Professional Speakers, and Socials
General Meetings
We hold regular meetings in Wehner on Tuesday evenings.
Professional Speakers
Every third Tuesday, we invite a professional speaker to tell us about their experiences working with different cultures in a professional setting.
Socials
IBA hosts a variety of socials throughout to build lasting relationships within the organization.
Events outside of our 3 week rotation:
Road Trips
We want those studying abroad at A&M to venture beyond College Station. Throughout the year we arrange road trips for all members to participate in, and domestic students often open up their home and allow us to experience their city! Trips have included the Texas State Fair in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and NASA in Houston.
Service
During the year IBA participates in local service activities such as Kyle Field Cleanup and Big Event in order to give back to the community that gives so much to us.
