Jacqui Sweeney

I am a Senior Faculty Coordinator for Cooperative Education at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, where I have had the privilege of working for nearly four decades—since July 1988. In this role, I manage one of the Health Sciences and Public Health Co-op programs, helping students bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience. There is nothing quite like watching a student grow through their co-op placement, gain confidence, and step into their future career.

Before joining Northeastern, I worked as a Broker/Dealer Coordinator at Oppenheimer Mutual Funds in Denver, Colorado, from 1984 to 1986. That role gave me my start in the professional world and taught me the importance of precision, coordination, and working within a fast-paced financial environment.

For 38 years and counting, my work has been rooted in education, mentorship, and student success. I believe cooperative education changes lives—and I'm proud to have been part of that mission for my entire career.
