The Midwest Jesuits are pleased to welcome Joseph (Joe) Sweeney, who will serve as regional director for Chicago and Cleveland on our advancement team.
Joe comes from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, where he served as vice president for development and alumni relations and as senior development director.
He also served as vice president for development at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Ill., and as executive director of Boys Hope Girls Hope in Cincinnati.
I am honored to once again be affiliated with the Society of Jesus, and I look forward to collaboratively working with Jesuits and lay partners for the greater glory of God.
