Tim Sensor has been the Chief Athletic Trainer and chief clinical supervisor for the Kean University Department of Athletics since 1983. In that time, he has managed to help build one of the most widely recognized athletic training programs in the region.

The program at Kean is one of just four programs among all New Jersey universities recognized by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).

Along with his staff and students, Sensor treats as many as 600 student-athletes per year which encompasses approximately 2,000 injuries and 6,000 treatments.

Sensor's responsibilities certainly are not limited to the treatment of Kean's student-athletes.  Kean University now offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training and Sensor, along with several members of his staff, educates and supervises students in the program who then become eligible to take the National Athletic Trainers Association Board of Certification exam. Those who pass then may apply to the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners, or in whatever state they choose, for the credentials to practice as athletic trainers.

A 1977 Ramapo College graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree, Sensor is generally credited with building the Ramapo athletic training program from the ground up, first as a student-athlete, before being hired as the Mahwah, N.J., school's first professional athletic trainer. He was formally recognized in 2004 when he was enshrined in the Ramapo Athletic Hall of Fame along with a number of athletes for which he helped care during their college days.
