For more than 20 years, Accounting Professor Larry Kalbers has helped shape LMU College of Business Administration through visionary leadership and a deep commitment to ethics-centered business education. As associate dean, chair of the Department of Accounting, R. Chad Dreier Chair in Accounting Ethics, and inaugural director of the DBA program, he has had a lasting impact on students, faculty, and the college.
As Professor Kalbers retires in May 2026, we invite you to honor his legacy by supporting the Larry Kalbers Endowed Scholarship for Ethical Leadership, a permanent investment in students who reflect his values: integrity, intellectual rigor, and service to the common good.
This endowed scholarship will support undergraduate and graduate students, with priority given to those in Accounting and the DBA program. Recipients will demonstrate academic excellence, financial need, and a commitment to ethical leadership aligned with LMU’s Jesuit and Marymount mission.
A CBA Centennial Initiative
As LMU College of Business Administration celebrates 100 years, this scholarship honors a leader who shaped its modern identity while investing in students who will define its future.
Celebrate and Honor Professor Kalbers' Legacy
We seek broad participation to bring this scholarship to life. Gifts of all sizes - leadership commitments, multi-year pledges, alumni and corporate support - will help us reach our initial $100,000 endowment goal and grow its impact over time. Early support will anchor the fund, while collective giving will reflect the far-reaching influence of Professor Kalbers’ career. Join us in celebrating Professor Kalbers’ legacy and ensuring that ethical leadership remains at the heart of LMU business education - for generations to come.
