After graduating from Harvard College in 1960 and earning an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania, Jack returned to Cambridge in 1965, joining the Harvard College Admissions Office as Assistant Director of Admissions and Financial Aid. Since that time, he has served in a number of other capacities, including: Director of Admissions and Financial Aid (1971–1975); Allston Burr Senior Tutor in Kirkland House (1971–1975); Special Assistant to the Vice President for Alumni Affairs and Development (1974–1977); and Associate Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid for Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges (1975–1977).

Later, as Harvard’s Director of Athletics (1978–1990), Jack was instrumental in expanding the women’s intercollegiate program and rebuilding the athletics facilities. In recognition of his work, the Harvard Varsity Club established the John P. Reardon, Jr. Men’s Award in 1987, given annually to one senior varsity male athlete who best exemplifies excellent scholarship, character, leadership, and athletic ability.

Jack’s own character and leadership are at the core of his many contributions to Harvard and the broader University community. He has helped countless individuals over the years – students, alumni, faculty, administrators, and friends of the institution. On a broader level, he has played an important role in University governance, including helping guide many of President Faust’s recent reforms.
