Sean Scott

Sean is a sophomore from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, majoring in journalism. He joined TMS at the beginning of his freshman year and has written almost every week since. 

In January, he joined the editorial staff as an Asst Campus & Community Editor. He also just recently became an Asst. Entertainment Editor. Sean enjoys writing about everything from City Council to profiles to music and movies. 

If he isn’t working on an article, Sean is probably exploring Oxford’s nature trails or listening to music, and the song is probably by Lorde or Florence and the Machine. 

He doesn’t have solid plans after graduation but hopes the next three years will be enough time to figure it out.
