Joe O’Donnell (MBA 1971)

The Harvard Alumni Association announced last week that Joe O’Donnell (MBA 1971) is one of three recipients of the 2020 Harvard Medal.

As noted in the Gazette, the Harvard Medal “recognizes extraordinary service to the University in a variety of areas, such as teaching, fundraising, leadership, and innovation.” O’Donnell’s Harvard contributions highlighted in the Gazette include his service as a member of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, as elected director of the HAA Board of Directors, and as co-chair of the Harvard Campaign, which launched in 2013.

The Gazette also notes his philanthropic efforts, which have been focused on cystic fibrosis research through the Joey Fund, which O’Donnell established in 1986 after losing his own son, Joey, to the disease.
