🎓 BCLA Graduating Senior Spotlight:
Kevin Rios ‘25
Majors: Psychology and Sociology
Hometown: Hawthorne, CA

For Kevin Rios, LMU has always felt like a second home. His father has worked in Facilities Management at the university for over 14 years, and growing up in Hawthorne, Kevin and his younger brother (LMU ‘26) were surrounded by the vibrant community, culture, and values that define the Bluff. Attending LMU was a full-circle moment—something he had always dreamed of as a child.

Kevin majored in Psychology and Sociology to better understand people—their behavior, motivations, and how social forces shape our lives. His goal has always been to apply what he learns in real-life situations, whether it’s about empathetic leadership, managing relationships, or understanding social change.

This fall, Kevin will pursue his Master’s in Sport Management at either the University of San Francisco, Cal Lutheran, or Cal State Long Beach. He aims to work in the professional sports industry or as an athletic director at the collegiate level. As a student manager for LMU Men’s Basketball, Kevin gained firsthand experience in leadership, culture-building, and working behind the scenes to support something greater than himself.

As a transfer student, Kevin knows how challenging it can be to enter a new space—but he encourages others to step out of their comfort zones, ask questions, and make the most of every opportunity LMU has to offer.

Kevin’s academic journey has been shaped by his experience with Dr. Nathan Sessoms in the Sociology Department. Courses such as “Applied Community Research” and “Urban Sociology” have taught him how research can uplift communities. Throughout these courses, Dr. Sessoms’ humor and energy kept Kevin fully engaged and motivated.

Kevin is a proud graduate of Verbum Dei Jesuit High School (Class of 2016), and the Jesuit values of social justice, reflection, and community have continued to shape his path. For him, LMU is more than a university—it’s a place that prepares students to be people for and with others.
