Hosted by the McCombs School of Business and the Texas Exes, the Subiendo Academy is the beginning of an ongoing mentoring relationship between Subiendo participants and University students, alumni, and prominent leaders from a broad spectrum of fields and professions. Subiendo: The Academy for Rising Leaders is a FREE, five-day intensive summer program that brings together aspiring high school seniors in Texas for an unforgettable leadership development experience. Participants have an opportunity to problem solve real-world issues with today's top business and political names. Students work on projects in non-traditional classrooms and career settings. There is no cost for students to attend. Subiendo has been created at The University of Texas at Austin to prepare new leaders to address the needs of the next generation, including a growing Hispanic population that has become the largest and youngest minority group in the United States.
