The MBC partnered with the College of Business to throw a career meet up. This event was held in the Ramskeller, and featured several employers in the music industry. There were a few local organizations such as The Music District, the Bohemian Foundation and Aggie Theater. There were also larger organizations like AEG and Oak View Group. Students had opportunities to connect with people who work in their desired career fields, begin searching for internships, and network with their peers.

The MBC began the Musician Matchmaker event, which was led by Lilly Rogers and Ellie Brown. 

This event began on Nov. 3 with a speed dating style match up of musicians where they found other musicians with similar ideas, goals and musical styles. The musicians then created bands. 

On Nov. 10, the bands that had been created attended a songwriting workshop to create their own original songs. 

The final event will be hosted at the Ramskeller on Dec. 3, where each band created from the past two events will showcase their skills by performing covers and at least one original song.
