“Bob’s Your Director”
The man behind all of the magic is Dr. Robert Sparks, your Director. Dr. Sparks has sat as KIN’s leader for 8 years now and continues to support student initiatives that enhance the KIN student experience through quality instruction, research opportunities, faculty engagement and services for students.
As a professor Dr. Sparks specialized in Leisure and Sport Management (Media studies, Consumer culture, Sport marketing, Communication). Dr. Sparks always likes to hear the student perspective and when not in his office in War Memorial Gymnasium, he can be found running through the endowment lands.
