Sean-Michael Green is an expert on topics related to higher education among non-traditional groups. Sean-Michael was not a good student in high school. His grades were horrible (especially in Algebra II where he never wrote more than his name on an exam in his senior year), and he had no intention of going to college. Instead, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.
Sean-Michael wandered into a community college after separating from Active Duty. His first semester was an experiment, and he had little hope that he would fare better in college than he did in high school. But he quickly learned that he loved learning and being a non-traditional student; he found so much money for school that he was making a profit attending college; and he discovered an aptitude for classroom and independent learning.
During his academic career, Sean-Michael developed an interest in combining his three passions: higher education, the military, and management. He began researching the topics with zeal and tackling projects that allowed him to explore these disciplines. He served on the faculty committee for Admissions and Financial Aid Policy at Cornell Law School, and he worked as a law clerk in Office of University Counsel at Cornell University. He volunteered with or created military groups at several universities. He spoke with military education officers, college admissions officers, government officials, and business leaders, exchanging and gathering information. Professionally, Sean-Michael has more than a decade of experience as an entrepreneur and manager. After leaving Services and Solutionsa company that he created and managed for more than six yearsand working as an IT Project Manager with Advanta Mortgage Company, Sean-Michael founded SES College Services. The company hired graduate students at the most selective and elite universities to serve as mentors to college applicants. The company, perhaps influenced by Sean-Michael's background, evolved into a boutique of services for non-traditional students. After more than three years with SES College Services, Sean-Michael joined the management team at The Princeton Review to help them work with the military. Sean-Michael is a member of and leader in several other organizations. He is a volunteer and a member of the Board of Directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters. He previously served on the Board of Digital Briefing, Inc.; and he co-founded and served on the Executive Committee for Donna's Last Gift. He is a member of the Pittsburgh Young Professionals and several community-based groups. A licensed attorney in Pennsylvania, Sean-Michael is involved in various enterprises, including the American Bar Association and the Neighborhood Legal Services Association. Sean-Michael serves on the Allegheny County Bar Association’s Military and Veteran Affairs Committee, and he is also a member of the Pennsylvania Advisory Council on Military and Veteran Education.
