Hi!! I’m Kennedy McGuire (she/her) and I am so excited to be a member of the 2025-2026 First Year Five! I’m originally from the suburbs of Dallas, Texas and I’m an incoming sophomore at Tulane where I’m majoring in Business Management. On campus, I’m involved in greek life with Kappa Alpha Theta, and this makes campus feel even more like a second home for me. I love to puppysit with TUSTEP because I have three dogs at home (the great loves of my life) and TUSTEP helps me get my puppy fix while also supporting an amazing cause!
You will often find me laughing with friends, listening to music, eating pomegranates, reading/watching Twilight, and playing New York Times puzzles (I have the deluxe membership - I am SERIOUS about puzzles). I used to be an audiobook hater, but this year I have listened to almost fifty books, usually while walking through Audubon and enjoying the sunshine!
My first year in New Orleans has been so wonderful. Between the food (current favs are tacos at Barracuda and dinner at 1000 Figs), the sights (the Sculpture Garden at City Park is a must), and the activities (please go take a walk down Magazine Street and you will see what I MEAN!!), living here is truly a dream.
I know it may sound cliche, but I promise that you will make a home for yourself here at Tulane. Beginning your first year at college is absolutely overwhelming, but I promise that you will find your place here. Be patient, breathe deeply, and embrace your role as a new student! And remember - if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here for each and every one of you. I can’t wait to see you flourish!
