GSLI Endowment Seed Funders: Christopher & Cynthia Bake
Chris Bake (BBA ‘88) and his wife 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 has helped us train students to take a global, interdisciplinary approach to addressing the biggest challenges of our day. Learn more about Chris’ inspiring journey in the Summer 2025 McCombs Magazine feature.
