Lorry I. Lokey Graduate School of Business at Mills College

Sad news for the Lokey School. Lorry I. Lokey, the legendary philanthropist and the major force behind the construction of the GSB, has passed away. His legacy will continue to live on in hundreds of the Lokey School graduates working to make the world a better place. Deep condolences to his family and friends.

Lorry I. Lokey, founder and former chairman of Business Wire, was a visionary businessman and one of the country’s most dedicated philanthropists supporting educational advancement.

Lokey established Business Wire in 1961 in San Francisco, California, and guided the company’s expansion throughout the United States and overseas. The company’s enormous success reflects Lokey’s humanist philosophy that investing in people is the best way to build a dynamic business, and that the contributions of women are integral to that success. The Chronicle of Philanthropy consistently recognized Lokey among the most generous donors nationwide.
Ann Lokey, his daughter, graduated from Mills in 1985.

A recent string of high-profile exonerations, including those of Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam, two men wrongfully convicted in the 1966 killing of Malcolm X, has many asking the question: What is justice for people who have been failed by the criminal system?
