About Rev. Kevin P. Quinn, S.J.

Rev. Kevin P. Quinn, S.J.

Rev. Kevin P. Quinn, S.J., served as the 25th President of The University of Scranton from July 2011 to June 2017. From his first days on campus, Father Quinn demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to Jesuit Catholic higher education and a deep appreciation for the pivotal role athletics can play in enhancing both the overall student experience and the University community as a whole.

On May 8, 2018, the University dedicated the Kevin P. Quinn, S.J. Athletics Campus, its brand-new, $14 million athletic facility, in recognition of Father Quinn’s special interest in promoting athletics and his relentless support of Scranton’s student-athletes. Father Quinn strongly advocated for the development of the athletics campus, and his role in spearheading the fundraising efforts needed to make this longtime University dream a reality cannot be overstated.

In addition to his leadership in support of the athletics campus, Father Quinn oversaw the addition of Women’s Golf and Men’s and Women’s Track & Field at Scranton. He was also very supportive of the creation of The Royal Way, the Department of Athletics initiative that provides our student-athletes with a distinctly Jesuit athletic experience rooted in the religious and spiritual foundations of the University’s Catholic and Jesuit mission.
