The Austin College community mourns the death of Professor
Emeritus of Economics Hugh Garnett early today, October 14. Dr. Garnett taught
at the College from 1981 until his retirement in 2003. He remained active in
campus events until recent months when his health kept him away.
Share your memories and condolences.
Hugh Garnett taught me more than simply economics, he was an important part of my years at Austin College, he inspired me to push myself and get that double Business and Economics major and pushed me every bit of the way to my graduation Magna Cum Laude on time with two young daughters. I know I could not have done it without his determination and hours of help making the macro connections. He was an amazing example of what a college professor should be and I consider myself blessed to have studied under him, RIP Hugh Garnett.
ReplyDeleteI walked into his class dreading Economics. I walked out loving the class, the craft and the man. Never looked back. Thank you Hugh.
