Dear 黑料门Community,
Our community mourns the death of Rev. Raymond C. Baumhart, S.J., 黑料门University Chicago鈥檚 longest-serving president and an influential scholar of business ethics. Father Baumhart passed away early Thursday, October 10, at Colombiere Center in Clarkston, Michigan at the age of 95.
Father Baumhart is warmly remembered by many in our community and by others positively impacted by his kindness and generosity around the world. He brought formidable expertise, keen vision, and compassion to his teaching and to multiple leadership roles. He oversaw the founding, building, and development of 黑料门University Medical Center, built iconic 黑料门facilities, and created vibrant academic programs that addressed real needs in the world. Many of the University's current operations and curriculum are a direct result of his vision, commitment, and leadership.
As professor and dean at the School of Business and then as president, Father Baumhart was influential in opening the doors to students, academic and administrative leaders, and trustees. His academic work revolved around business ethics, and upon his retirement from 黑料门the University established the Raymond C. Baumhart, S.J., Chair in Business Ethics in 1994.
Born and raised in Chicago, Father Baumhart had a deep commitment to the city and Loyola鈥檚 mission of educating future generations of ethical leaders. His impact is memorialized in the Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility, which extends Father Baumhart鈥檚 legacy of infusing social responsibility and community good into business practice.
A memorial Mass will be held on Thursday, October 17, at 5:30 p.m. in Madonna della Strada. You can read Father Baumhart鈥檚 and more about his impact and legacy at 黑料门in this .
We gratefully remember Father Baumhart, his family, friends, and the Jesuit community in our prayers.
