Treveccan Stories: A Lasting Impact

Vice President of University Engagement Peg Cooning reflects on 19 years of building a culture of stewardshiping and giving

Since coming to Trevecca in 2007, Peg Cooning has embodied servant leadership in her role as vice president for the Office of University Engagement. As the longest-serving development officer in Trevecca history, she has worked with a variety of teams throughout the years, including marketing, church, alumni and community engagement, event planning, and career development and connections.

Cooning plans to retire at the end of December, closing out a remarkable career in advancing the University’s growth and mission.

“I believe Peg has the heart of Jesus,” shared University Provost Tom Middendorf. “She has led with the prompting of the Spirit and set an excellent example of servant leadership for our community. Her legacy at Trevecca will be a gift that serves generations of students long after her tenure. We believe that a Trevecca education is transformational, and it is overwhelming to think about how many people have been and will be impacted by the foundation she built over the last two decades.”
