Meet Some of Our Faculty

Sean Sullivan

Chair, Professor

Kinesiology chose me more than I chose it. I like to think and play, and to think about playing. Being a professor in kinesiology allows me to do both. I’m a generalist and get excited about all the ways I can study the integration of body and mind. My goal is to guide students to better understand God and serve and experience him through both our minds and bodies.
