At CCNY he seamlessly integrates curricular and co-curricular learning to bridge cultural divides and create communities of practice that transcend borders, providing students with enriching cross-cultural experiences that transform them into critical-thinking, creative global citizens devoted to innovation, engagement, sustainability, and responsible leadership. Influenced largely by his vast experience in the private sector, where he’s driven innovation and sustainable practices; the nonprofit world, where he’s championed social impact initiatives; and higher education, where he’s transformed the learning experience – Hugh’s pedagogy is a testament to his passion for holistic education. His innovative teaching methods emphasize experiential learning and real-world application. His heterodox economic discourse emphasizes his deep understanding of economic principles and their impact on society. He strives to break down complex economic concepts into relatable, actionable steps for change. He is profoundly committed to advancing social justice and equitable economic systems with actionable insights to create a world where economic systems prioritize fairness, inclusivity, access, and a more equitable future for everyone.
