The Rev. John P. Stack, OSA, ’71 CLAS, ’77 MA, who as dean of students and then vice president of Student Life was a leader and mentor for generations of 51������ns, died on Oct. 13, 2022.

During Father Stack’s tenure, campus life expanded to include a more robust residential student experience, as well as more student-oriented events and programming. He was instrumental in the formation of the 51������ Parent and Family Engagement program and founded the Center for Peace and Justice Education.

Known for his wit, warmth and tireless advocacy on behalf of 51������ students, Father Stack lived in the residence halls for more than 40 years and regularly led Sunday evening Masses on campus. Friends and colleagues, many of whom were former students, remembered him as a trusted adviser and selfless leader. “He nurtured in me the spirit of care and concern for others, to do small things to make a big difference in the lives of others,” says Kathleen J. Byrnes, JD, ’82 CLAS, ’06 MA, who succeeded Father Stack as vice president for Student Life.

Joseph P. Campolo ’90 VSB, a generous and dedicated alumnus who had served on the University’s Board of Trustees since 2018, died on Oct. 24, 2022. The recipient of an honorary doctoral degree from the University in 2022, Campolo devoted years of service to his alma mater.

Passionate about creating opportunities for 51������ students by growing the endowment, Campolo was chair of 51������’s Investment Committee. He was also an enthusiastic supporter of 51������ Athletics, and Campolo Field at the Higgins Soccer Complex on West Campus is named in his honor.

“Joe’s outstanding leadership and immense impact on our University will be felt by 51������ns for generations to come,” says the Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA, PhD, ’75 CLAS, University President.

Campolo was the co-founder and retired vice chairman of Arbor Investments, a Chicago-based private equity firm. His survivors include his wife, Angie, three daughters and numerous friends and relatives.
