Jack Lester Osborn, BHS 1965

From the Office of the President, University of Redlands

It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of Professor Jack Osborn on May 12, 2025. Jack was a beloved member of the University of Redlands community, a 1969 alumnus, professor, mentor, global business leader, and friend whose life and work profoundly shaped our institution.

A proud Bulldog, Jack graduated from U of R with a degree in international relations. While at Redlands, he served in student government and wrote for the Redlands Bulldog. He went on to study Eastern economic and military affairs at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, launching a distinguished career that would take him across the globe and into senior leadership roles at the highest levels of international business. He served as Vice President of TRW’s Asia/Pacific office and later as President and CEO of Kibun Products International and President and COO of Mitsubishi Consumer Electronics North America.

Jack’s expertise was widely recognized, and he served on numerous industry and government boards, taught at several prestigious universities, and testified before both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

In 2001, Jack returned to the University of Redlands as the Hunsaker Chair in Management. He brought with him global experience and a deep commitment to students and learning. He founded the University’s Global Business program and played a pivotal role in developing our Fulbright program, which has produced 28 Fulbright students to date.

Jack received numerous accolades throughout his career, including the University’s first Alumni Career Achievement Award in 1987 and the Outstanding Service Award in 2007. He was also nominated multiple times for Mortar Board Professor of the Year.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, and at the request of Rich and Ginnie Hunsaker, both Class of 1952, the Hunsaker Chair in Management was renamed the Jack Osborn Chair in Management upon his retirement—a lasting tribute to his dedication and leadership.

As we remember Jack, we honor a life lived with purpose, passion, and generosity. He gave his students the gift of global vision, helped elevate Redlands on the world stage, and remained always, a true Bulldog. 

PS: Jack was also a true BHS Bulldog.  He was a natural leader, always active in student council, including student body president the second semester of our senior year in 1965.  RIP dear friend. Read more here.
