Baum Speaker Series
In 2006, the Gannon Center for Women and Leadership became the fortunate recipient of a bequest from the estate of the late Ann and Alvin Baum Family for a speaker series. The series invites women of national and international renown to frame an informed discussion with members of our Loyola community, neighborhood, and city on issues at the intersection of women and leadership, public policy and social justice.
