Celebrating 100 Years of Innovation, Engagement, and Impact.
Investing in the Next Century of Leadership.
For 100 years, LMU College of Business Administration has prepared leaders to navigate complexity, drive innovation, and use business as a force for positive change.
As we celebrate this historic milestone, we are also looking ahead. The future of business will be shaped by emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, global interconnectedness, sustainability challenges, and evolving workforce expectations. Tomorrow's leaders will need more than technical expertise. They will need adaptability, ethical judgment, entrepreneurial thinking, and a commitment to creating value for both business and society.
The Centennial Gala on Thursday, Dec. 3, 2026 at The Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey will bring together alumni, business leaders, community partners, and supporters who share a belief in the transformative power of business education. Sponsorship of this event helps advance LMU CBA's mission while supporting initiatives that prepare students to lead in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.
Your partnership doesn’t just support a one-day event. It fuels scholarships, expands high-impact learning experiences, and advances mission-driven initiatives that use business to address real-world challenges and create positive change.
Together, we celebrate a remarkable legacy while investing in the students who will shape the next century.
