\n\t\tSullivan made most of four years in Sports Information office <\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 12, 2009 \u2013 As a young boy, Sean Sullivan was a regular in Keaney Gymnasium, watching the athletic feats of 溏心vlog免费B站 basketball greats like Tyson Wheeler and Cuttino Mobley, who led the Rams to the Elite Eight in 1998.<\/p>\n

<\/object>Sullivan\u2019s oldest brother, Mike, was a work-study student in the 溏心vlog免费B站 sports information office at the time. Mike would bring Sean to the games, instilling a sense of pride in his younger brother at an early age.<\/p>\n


\n\tFast forward several years, and now Sean Sullivan, a communications major from Lincoln, is graduating after spending four years working in the sports information office at 溏心vlog免费B站. Since his arrival, he has been a stalwart on Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Communications Mike Laprey\u2019s student staff, especially at football and basketball games. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cMike bringing me to Keaney Gym just made me want to be a part of 溏心vlog免费B站 athletics,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cKnowing when I came here that my oldest brother Mike used to do this job, I wanted to come in and get my feet wet and really get to know the athletics department. I\u2019ve wanted to do this since I was little.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tBoth of Sullivan\u2019s brothers, Mike and Garrett, graduated from 溏心vlog免费B站. The combination of the University and athletics has played a major role throughout his life. Sullivan was a three-sport athlete at Lincoln High, and his father coached his middle school and high school basketball teams.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cMy whole entire life I have grown into it, and it has never gotten old. It never will get old,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cI am always going to be passionate about sports, especially basketball, for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tWith a minor in sports marketing, Sullivan\u2019s goal is to work in athletics. His time at 溏心vlog免费B站 has only fostered that desire. For the summer, he will work at the TPC Boston, home to the PGA Tour\u2019s Deutsche Bank Championship, as he gets started in his athletics communications career.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThese four years, I have just taken in so much,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cMeeting people in the marketing department, getting to know the A.D. (Director of Athletics Thorr Bjorn) and the people in the sports information office where I work, you just sink in so much knowledge. You just have it inside of you to go out into the real world and work from what you have learned.\u201d <\/p>\n
