The College of Aeronautics at Florida Tech is pleased to announce that two-time graduate Sean McGeough ’95 ‘05 MS is coming back to campus as an adjunct faculty member.
A distinguished leader in the aviation industry, McGeough will be teaching Aviation Career Planning (AVT 2303), allowing him to leverage his extensive industry experience to help guide the next generation of aviation professionals.
He will also continue to preach the value of sustainability for those headed to the aviation industry.
“Understanding sustainability is essential for future aviation leaders as the industry adapts to global environmental standards,” McGeough said. “This knowledge drives eco-friendly innovations, reduces carbon footprints and advances green technologies, ensuring aviation remains viable and responsible.”
Already McGeough is leading by example: He will use his teaching salary to establish the Sean McGeough Aviation Sustainability Fund, supporting Florida Tech’s mission in environmental stewardship and innovation.
“Careers in Aviation with a Focus on Sustainability” is unique in that it features industry leaders as guest speakers. Past guest lecturers have included Kennedy Ricci, president of the aviation sustainability firm 4AIR; Robin Riedel, co-lead of the McKinsey Center for Future Mobility; Pasha Saleh, head of corporate development at Alaska Air; Emily Deaton, Melbourne-based CEO of Jet Avia; and Richard Thomas, managing director of Philtre Ltd.
Florida Tech President John Nicklow expressed his enthusiasm for McGeough’s return.
“We are honored to welcome Sean McGeough back to Florida Tech,” Nicklow said. “His expertise and dedication to the industry are invaluable, and his commitment to sustainability aligns with our vision for the future of aviation.”
McGeough holds both a Bachelor of Science in Aviation Management and a Master of Science in Management from Florida Tech. He will begin work on his Doctor of Aviation degree there this fall.
