Brock Blomberg P'13, dean of the Robert Day School and the Peter Barker '70 Professor of Economics and George R. Roberts Fellow, presented Hughson with his medallion.
"The Freeberg Chair gave me the opportunity to come to CMC and work with great students," said Hughson. "I've enjoyed both my research and teaching interactions here very much."
