Meet Sean Van Koughnett, Associate Vice-President (Students and Learning) & Dean of Students
What aspects of your student experience have contributed to your role as a leader in Student Affairs today?
I was a student-athlete and lived in residence. Being a part of these groups made me realize the importance of belonging to a community. The memories and relationships from these experiences were the best part of my time in university, and I cherish them to this day.
Tell us something about yourself
Sports and exercise have always been a big part of my life. In addition to being a student-athlete, I played on Canada’s national basketball team, and I’ve taken up tennis, biking, and hot yoga over the past few years. I have also coached my son’s rep basketball team for the past seven years and coached my daughters when they played.
