Regis Adds Five Members to Board of Trustees

On July 1, five members of the Regis community joined the Board of Trustees. These new board members, who were elected this spring by the Board, bring a wide range of experiences, expertise, and perspectives to the school’s governing body. A brief biography of each new trustee is available below.

“I’m excited to welcome Jamie, Fr. Chun, Evan, Freddy, and Matthew as our newest trustees,” Board Chair Tony DiNovi ’80 said. “In addition to the considerable talent, experience, and insight they bring to our board, they each have a deep passion for Regis, our mission, and Jesuit education. I look forward to working alongside them in support of our students.”

He is mostly responsible for working with the province staff in the administration of the province; he also oversees the Office Safe Environment and Ministry for the province. Fr. Chun has previously served at a variety of Jesuit institutions and ministries, including Loyola University Chicago and Xavier University in Cincinnati.

Fr. Chun is an adult convert to Christ and to the Catholic Church, entered the Society of Jesus in 1998, and was ordained a priest in 2008 in Chicago. Prior to becoming a Jesuit, he worked for 17 years in finance and accounting management with the Bendix Corporation (now Honeywell). He earned a B.S. in Accounting from Bentley College and is a certified public accountant. He also holds an M.B.A. from the University of Notre Dame as well as an M.A. in Philosophy from Loyola University Chicago and an M.Div. from the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. In addition to his service at Regis, Fr. Chun sits on the Board of Trustees of Christ the King Jesuit College Prep in Chicago.
