Jensen Kenney
Assistant Director, Facility Operations
I do this work because the value of recreation in a university setting is invaluable.
It creates a space for students to stay engaged and active on campus, while also creating
a sense of belonging. The environment that exists within University Recreation is
truly one of a kind. Knowing that I can help foster that welcoming and unique environment
is what motivates me to come in to work every day.

You would never know
I love musical theatre. Most people don鈥檛 assume this about me, because I chose to pursue a career in a sports-related field. But I was involved in theatre and dance growing up and became obsessed with all things Broadway and off-Broadway. Some of my favorite musicals include 鈥淲icked鈥�, 鈥淒ear Evan Hansen鈥�, and 鈥淗eathers: The Musical鈥�. However, my all-time favorite musical is 鈥淩ent鈥�.
Favorite movies
My top 3 favorite movies of all time are 鈥淗eathers鈥�, 鈥淏ring It On鈥�, and 鈥淟egally Blonde鈥�.
To Write Love On Her Arms
I鈥檝e been a long-time advocate for mental health awareness. I believe that support for mental health is vital in any environment, but especially on college campuses. I鈥檝e been involved with an organization called To Write Love On Her Arms that advocates for mental health awareness and I strive every day to create a setting where the conversation around mental health is an important one.
