Professor Ray Jones

“Ray was the ultimate colleague,” said Roger Kashlak, chair of the Management and International Business Department. “He was truly a man for others. He had a deep understanding of the Jesuit mission and lived it every day of his life. We’re much better off because he was a part of our lives. Ray’s family, colleagues, students and all those who knew him will miss his wisdom, compassion, leadership and friendship.”

Jones graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1964 and went on to serve for five years as an officer in the U.S. Army.  After leaving active service, he earned an M.B.A. from Harvard University in 1971 and a J.D. from the University of Texas in 1973. While in law school, he taught at Saint Edward’s University in Austin. From 1973 – 1981, he was an executive for Occidental Petroleum Corporation, an international oil and gas exploration and production company. Jones completed his Ph.D. at the University of Maryland, College Park in 1993 and taught there for a number of years before joining the Loyola faculty in 1999.
