Weston is the Corporate Relations Officer on the Corporate and Foundation Relations team in the Office of University Advancement at St. Edward’s University. Weston joined the Advancement Office in 2023. He graduated from St. Edward’s with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications in 2006.
Prior to taking the Corporate Relations role at St. Edward’s, Weston was an Apprenticeship Program Specialist at the Texas Workforce Commission, where he engaged with Texas companies of all sizes to help them develop training programs for their most in-demand roles. Before that, Weston helped manage a non-profit workforce training and development agency in Austin, creating programs and building connections with local businesses. This was after his initial foray in university advancement and corporate relations at UT Austin where for five years he helped steward relationships with Fortune 50 companies and provide fundraising support to diversity education programs. This came after a five-year stint at Workforce Solutions Capital Area, the workforce development board for Travis County, where he led media relations, communications, and grant writing efforts. Before earning his degree at St. Edward’s, Weston completed a decorated four-year enlistment with the U.S. Coast Guard in Washington, DC.
Weston is committed to supporting programs and projects that help advance the university’s mission to provide ethical, inclusive education to all who seek it, to preserve and protect its natural environment and steward its resources effectively, and to serve the Austin community through academic excellence, social justice, and community impact.
