Biology Department program director and professor Paul Constantino '92, Ph.D. was named Saint Michael's Athletic Faculty Athletics Representative in January 2026.
Constantino joined the biology faculty in 2014 and has worked with Athletics as a men's soccer faculty affiliate. His areas of expertise are evolutionary biology, human evolution and human anatomy, particularly the study of the evolution of skulls and teeth. In 2021, the often-published Constantino and women's volleyball alumna Katy Konow '21 wrote a scientific paper on the topic that ran in the Journal of Human Evolution. Constantino's scientific pursuits have taken him around the United States and to such countries as China, Kenya and South Africa, and he co-led the past three Ireland academic summer study trips and the winter 2022 Costa Rica academic trip. Constantino has mentored students throughout their time at Saint Michael's, from a first-year seminar on birds of the world to evolutionary anatomy senior seminar.
