About Shane

Shane McDonough was born and raised in Bergen County, New Jersey, in a suburb of New York City. Shane attended college at the University of Dayton, where he started as a Biology/Pre-Medicine Major with hopes of going to medical school. While in college, Shane took a wrongful convictions course and got involved with the Ohio Innocence Project. When exonerees came to UD’s campus as guest lecturers, Shane served as a liaison and introduced them to campus. These experiences piqued his interest in pursuing a career in law. Shane switched his major to english literature, and he worked with a department chair at UD to create a new minor degree, race and social justice. While he always strived to leave a lasting impact on UD, he realized the lack of minors in the liberal arts curriculum begged for the addition of new areas of study. Shane was the first student in UD’s rich 175-year history to graduate with a minor in race and social justice.
