Noonen to Depart at End of Semester

Rev. Joe Noonen has resigned from his position as University Chaplain and Vice President of Student Life.

Noonen has worked for the University for the last 23 years. Faculty were informed of his resignation on March 27.

“I have been blessed with the opportunity to share this slice of life with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds,” Noonen said.

Noonen has enjoyed strong ties with the University since his college days.

He attended MVNU from 1976-1980. He began working on campus in Mission and Ministry Opportunities in 1995, and became University Chaplain in 2013.

Noonen said his plans after MVNU are “to continue placing my faith and trust in God” and continue pursuing a “life in service to Christ and kingdom.”
