GSLI Endowment Seed Funders: Christopher & Cynthia Bake

Chris Bake (BBA ‘88) and his partner Cynthia generously seeded the GSLI’s endowment in 2020, allowing us to grow into the cross-campus Institute we are today. Chris is a visionary energy leader whose commitment will prepare students to take a global, interdisciplinary understanding of how to address the biggest challenges of our day. You can learn more about Chris’ inspiring journey in the Summer 2025 McCombs Magazine feature here.
