The Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing at the University of Arizona's Norton School of Human Ecology is an educational and research institution focused on developing future leaders for the retail industry. In 2005, the center was renamed to honor Terry J. Lundgren, a University of Arizona alumnus and the retired Chairman and CEO of Macy's, Inc., following his substantial financial contributions and active involvement. Lundgren, a 1974 graduate, began his career in 1975 as a trainee at Bullock's, a division of what is now Macy's, Inc. His career included serving as Chairman and CEO of Neiman Marcus before rejoining the parent company of Macy's in 1994, where he eventually led major initiatives, including the acquisition of The May Department Stores Company. His journey from a student paying his own way through college to a top executive in the retail world inspired his significant support for the center. The center serves as a bridge between academia and the retail sector, offering programs, professional development, and hands-on learning opportunities to students. It hosts major events like the Global Retailing Conference, which brings C-suite executives from companies like Walmart, Costco, and PetSmart to interact with students. A key feature is the Lundgren Consumer Science Lab, a state-of-the-art facility equipped with virtual reality, in-store tracking technology, a touchless POS system, and a "Digital Twin" of a retail space for students to test merchandising and operational strategies. The center is supported by corporate partners and operates as a nonprofit entity within the university, funded by philanthropic gifts and industry partnerships to provide its educational programs.
