It includes offices for more than 80 student organizations and student publications, dining services, a snack bar, the campus bookstore, a game room, a TV room, the campus post office, and the offices of Student Activities, Diversity Education, Religious Life, and the Dean of Students. The McCombs Campus Center also hosts campus events including the Homecoming Picnic, Family Weekend reception, and movies, concerts and lectures.

The center is named for two Southwestern alumni, Red McCombs, Class of 1949, and Charline Hamblin McCombs, Class of 1950.
