Mission
The Baumhart Center prepares leaders to tackle society's most pressing challenges through education, engagement, and research.
History
The Center was established through an anonymous $5 million gift to build on the vision of Loyola’s longest-serving President, Raymond Baumhart, and his groundbreaking 1968 book An Honest Profit.
Aligned with Loyola’s strategic plan—which commits the University “to act more for transformative justice”—we support students and leaders seeking to leverage business ideas to build a more just, humane, and sustainable world.
