Meet Mr. Adam McHugh

Lecturer, Energy Studies

"I respect those that place honesty and integrity before narrow self interest and prejudice. I am inspired by those who are ahead of the learning curve. My aspiration is to count myself as one of those people and to help others do the same. I cannot think of a better way to achieve this than through the academic way of life."
