Fr. Jeffrey Cooper, C.S.C. is a new professor of theology. Like many of the priests on campus, he is a member of the Congregation of the Holy Cross. Cooper taught at UP 12 years ago. He wanted to come back because he liked Portland and the emphasis the school puts on education.
Cooper obtained his bachelor's degree in English and master's of divinity at the University of Notre Dame. He also earned a master's of English at Miami University in Ohio, and his Ph.D. at Berkeley Graduate Theological Unit in Berkeley, Calif.
He was ordained in 1994, spent two years as a priest in Burbank, Calif., and was a novitiate in Colorado Springs.
