Vince Burens, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, spent all of his undergraduate years at the University of Pittsburgh involved in the CCO’s work though Bellefield Presbyterian Church. His involvement included serving on the student leadership team, where he led small groups and short-term mission trips with his peers. He also participated in the CCO’s Ocean City Beach Project while at Pitt.
After graduating with a BA in Urban Development and Political Science, Vince began working with the CCO in a position partnered with Robert Morris University and St. Stephen’s Church in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. He then transitioned into leadership in the organization as Director of Recruiting and Placement and later as Vice President of Staff Services, before assuming his current position, overseeing all of our on-campus operations.
Vince’s deep belief in the impact that college has on a person’s life is one reason why he is passionate about working for the CCO. “The college years are a critical time, where people make the decisions that will influence who they are for the rest of their lives,” Vince says. “I enjoy working for the CCO because of the people who work here. I am also very committed to our core values and the overall mission of the organization.”
Vince and his wife, Lori, live in Bellevue, Pennsylvania with their daughters, Mia and Tessa.
