You're Invited! A Celebration Not to Be Missed

For generations of Lions, LMU's College of Business Administration has been a place where friendships are formed, careers take shape, and future leaders discover how business can be a force for good.

Now, as CBA celebrates its 100th anniversary, we invite you to return and be a part of this historic milestone.

This December, alumni, parents, business leaders, faculty, students, and friends will gather for a once-in-a-century celebration honoring the people, ideas, and values that have defined CBA for the last 100 years. Join us as we commemorate this milestone and invest in the students, programs, and experiences that will carry CBA into its next century.
