Paul Calkins became the fourth head coach in the history of the Southern New Hampshire University men's lacrosse program in 1989.  Calkins, who wrapped up his 24th year in 2012, was elevated to full-time status in the summer of 2009.  Calkins is the longest-tenured active head coach at one school at the Division II level.

A former two-sport athlete at SNHU, he led the Penmen to a 7-4 record in his rookie season and followed up with an 8-3 campaign in 1990. The eight wins tied the school record for most victories in a season.

In 1995 Calkins guided SNHU to a 6-6 record and an appearance in the semifinals of the ECAC Division II tournament--the program's first-ever taste of post season play.  Post-season play has been a much more common occurance in recent years, as Calkins has guided SNHU to three-straight Northeast-10 Conference Tournament appearances (2004, 05, 06).

An active member of the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA), he currently serves on both the USILA Division II All-America selection committee and the USILA Division II national rankings committee.

Calkins lettered in lacrosse and hockey while a student at SNHU and totaled eight goals and 16 assists for the 1984 lacrosse team that finished 5-5.
