Scott Hughes

Professor of Physics, Margaret MacVicar Faculty Fellow, Division Head for Astrophysics
Program: Physics

Professor Hughes' parents, both high school educated, made sure he got a library card and supported his interests in dinosaurs, Tolkienian linguistics, and World War II airplanes, he never heard "What's the point of that?" The question of college attendance, however, raised more issues, "Places like that don't help people like us," his mother contended.
