Elizabeth (Liz) Collier holds the Christopher Chair in Business Ethics in the Brennan School of Business at Dominican University in River Forest, IL. Liz has been deeply impacted by Jesuit education and Ignatian values throughout her adult life.

Liz is the Chapter Chair for the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Management Education initiative in North America (PRME NA). She has been on the executive committee for seven years and chair for the past four years. In this capacity she is developing the institutional and governance structure of the chapter, leading and facilitating the steering committee so the Chapter can provide research and pedagogical engagement opportunities for schools of management in their integration of responsible management education and sustainability, junior scholar engagement, student engagement, and many other things. She is the North America representative to the UN PRME Secretariat’s office and is asked to consult on many of the initiatives that PRME global is refreshing or creating anew.
Liz is an editor at the Journal of Religion and Business Ethics and her own research focuses on business ethics, the ethics of global migration, ethical pedagogy, and the integration of the SDGs into business curricula. She served for 13 years on the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Immigration Ministry Advisory Board, was the Director of the Center for Faith and Work at Old St. Patrick’s Church, and a Co-Convener of the Women’s Caucus at the Society of Christian Ethics. She is currently the Laudato Si co-chair at Dominican University, among other responsibilities.
