Shawn White

Dr. Shawn White serves as Assistant Professor of Christian Studies and Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR) at an NAIA-affiliated institution, holding his academic position for three years. His dual role bridges theological education and athletic compliance, with primary responsibility for certifying student-athlete eligibility through the ECP software system.

His academic foundation includes:

• Alma Mater: University of New Brunswick

Dr. White's scholarly focus centers on Biblical Studies and Theology, with specialized teaching in ancient languages (Greek and Hebrew) and Bible curriculum. His research interests extend to Christian Education methodologies and Athletic Eligibility Compliance systems. Notably, he facilitated an academic exchange program to China that redirected a student's career toward missionary work in Thailand.

In his FAR capacity, Dr. White manages certification workflows starting football eligibility processes earlier than standard timelines, collaborating with coaches, the athletic director, and registrar. He emphasizes institutional compliance over individual athlete advocacy, applying David Allen's productivity framework to balance responsibilities. Beyond academia, he volunteers as a pastor in Bluefield, VA, and follows the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Penguins.
