Finding Hawai'i: In Search of Paradise on the Big Island
Sean McGrath is a scholar of American history and currently teaches that subject at Stuart-Hobson Middle School in Washington, D.C. McGrath has also written extensively for Newsday, a daily periodical targeted to the residents of Long Island in the State of New York. His American history thesis, "The American Revolution: Advancing Women Beyond Their Social Constraints Since 1776," was published in the Fall 2005 edition of Campus Proceedings, the official magazine for the National Council for Undergraduate Research. It was well-received by editors and reviewed by a tenured supervising professor who hailed it as “…one of the best senior seminar papers I’ve ever read.” Perhaps most famously, in February 2007, he was a contestant on the television show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and won a total of $50,000, in addition to the hearts of America.
