Tim Kennedy ("TK") is most definitely a Gustie legacy! Recently, the MIAC highlighted TK's accomplishments over his career within the MIAC and Gustavus. In echoing the spotlight, we are shouting out one of our former head coaches, who lead the program to a 20-39-2 record while at the helm.
"Affiliated with the MIAC for nearly four decades, Tim Kennedy has carved out a legacy of leadership, dedication, and innovation during his time at Gustavus Adolphus College. “TK” graduated from Gustavus in 1982 and began his professional career at his alma mater two years later as an intern in the sports information office. He went to serve in numerous roles at the institution over the next 30-plus years, including stints as an admission counselor, residence hall security officer, head women’s basketball and women’s soccer coach, and sports information director - a post he held for 21 years before being promoted to vice president for marketing and communication in 2011. Always a forward-thinker, TK brought innovation to the Gusties’ sports information department by utilizing photos, video and audio streaming, and social media as a means to spotlight Gustavus student-athletes. Kennedy has been a mentor to numerous student-workers, graduate assistants, and fellow SIDs over the years as well, and was recognized by his peers with the MIAC’s Mike Augustin Award in 2012 for his outstanding contributions to the conference and its student-athletes. He has also received the Bob Kenworthy Community Service Award from the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for his civic involvement at Gustavus and in St. Peter, Minn."
