Honorary Degree Recipients Mark Swann, Award-Winning Social Service Leader & Executive Director of Preble Street Mark Swann of Portland, Maine, is a noted leader in developing solutions for some of the most pressing issues faced by our society today, including: homelessness, addiction, and mental health crises. A native of West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, Swann earned a BA from Bowdoin College and a Master’s of Science in Public Affairs from UMass Boston. After beginning his career as Director of Social Services at the International Institute of Boston– a refugee resettlement agency–Swann returned to Maine in 1991 to work at Preble Street. Under Swann’s leadership, what began as a small soup kitchen with two employees in the basement of an old church has developed into a multi-site, comprehensive social service agency for homeless and low-income individuals and families. Preble Street has won several awards and national recognition for its dual efforts of providing basic, street-level services while also advocating for and building sustainable solutions to end homelessness and hunger. In 2012, Mark was a Congressional Medal of Honor finalist, chosen for the Citizen Service Before Self Honors recognizing “sacrifice for others through a prolonged series of selfless acts.” Sister Sylvia Comer ’62, RSM, former Director of Campus Ministry and member of the Sisters of Mercy Sister Sylvia Comer ’62, RSM, earned a BS in Education from Saint Joseph’s College and has worked at the College through several teaching, directorial, and pastoral roles for 29 years.

History
OF SAINT JOSEPH’S COLLEGE
From the time the Sisters of Mercy arrived in Portland, Maine, in 1873, they dreamed of applying the educational goals of Sister Catherine McAuley, who founded their order in Dublin, Ireland, in 1831. After working toward this goal, the Portland Regional Community of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas founded Saint Joseph’s College in 1912 on the grounds of the Sisters of Mercy Motherhouse in the Deering district of Portland. It was chartered by the Maine Legislature in 1915. In 1949, the name of the College was changed, briefly, from Saint Joseph’s College to The College of Our Lady of Mercy. When the Sisters purchased the Verrill Estate and moved the College to Standish in 1956, they reinstated the original name of Saint Joseph’s. Less than fifteen years later, in 1970, Saint Joseph’s became a co-educational institution. Then, in 1976, the College became a pioneer in distance education programs. With more than a century of history, Saint Joseph’s College remains as Maine’s Catholic, liberal arts college, situated on the 474-acre campus on the shore of Sebago Lake in Standish, Maine, where students and staff enjoy views of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range of the White Mountains. The College offers undergraduate and graduate degrees for men and women of all faiths and ages through campus and online educational programming.
Core Values
OF THE COLLEGE
Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church and the Sisters of Mercy, the values of Saint Joseph’s College are the foundation of its educational mission: FAITH • EXCELLENCE • INTEGRITY COMMUNITY • RESPECT • COMPASSION • JUSTICE “We should be as shining lamps, giving light to all around us.” —Catherine McAuley, Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, 1831
