Sean McGuire B.S., Radio-Television-Film A native of Charlotte, N.C., Sean McGuire said he made his way to Austin to study in the radio-television-film program because he wanted to positively impact the world through storytelling. A non-traditional transfer student and U.S. Army veteran and reporter, McGuire participated in the Student Veteran Association and Students Over 25. While on the Forty Acres, he said faculty members Don Howard, Tamar Laddy, H.W. Brands, Eric Tang and doctoral graduate Pete Kunze provided positive influences and encouragement; his favorite class was “Narrative Strategies and Media Design.” Upon graduation, he plans to work in Austin as a writer and editor to save up money for a tiny house and new vehicle. He said his ultimate goal is to write and shop screenplays on his own time and eventually move to Los Angeles to work in the entertainment industry. #OutstandingGrad
