Jo Ann Rooney Named Loyola University Chicago’s 24th President
Jo Ann Rooney was recently named Loyola University Chicago’s 24th president. Her appointment makes her the first lay leader in school history. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines lay leaders as people who are “distinct from the clergy.” Since lay leadership is not an ordained clerical office, the lay leader’s responsibilities vary according to the particular tradition to which he or she belongs.
