Teresa Gonzales Spotlight
In 2025, Loyola University Chicago’s Baumhart Center, the Institute for Racial Justice, Loyola University Chicago, and the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce worked together to organize the Impact Through Alliance Series—a citywide exploration of how business, policy, and community leaders can come together to build stronger, more inclusive economies. Dr. Teresa Gonzales, Assistant Professor of Sociology, participated throughout the series, representing Loyola University of Chicago.
The neighborhood tours, led by Chicago historian and storyteller Dilla, wound through Englewood, Rogers Park and Little Village, where conversations among constituents culminated in meaningful panel discussions.
