Bombs erupted over Baghdad. Saddam's statue toppled like the
final piece in a game of chess. Troops struggled to restore
order and bring a legitimate Iraqi government to power. And

Quotes
from HUX Students
Stephan
Tubbs, correspondent and anchor for ABC News radio and TV:
Tubbs, ABC Radio’s live anchor the night of 9/11, covers
the hot spots for ABC News—whether it’s the Kobe
Bryant trial or the war in Iraq. He says that, with a reporting
schedule that takes him on the road over 80 days a year, it
would have been impossible for him to pursue an M.A. degree
without the flexibility of the HUX program. About the HUX
course he took, “The Arab World,” Tubbs says,
I cannot think of a better example of how this translates
to my career. I certainly don’t know nearly enough about
that subject, and with this, I can apply it to the news I’m
covering all the time. That’s a total bonus.”
Army
First Lieutenant Ralan Hill, from Schwinfurt Germany in 2003:
Reflecting on John Stuart Mill’s “On Liberty,”
a work he was reading for a HUX course, he said, “Unfortunately,
I don’t think the world works with a nice clear-cut
examples as Mill details, but I learned individuals are the
critical element. Being able to adapt with individuals is
critical to functioning within any group, whether that is
my group, division, the United States or the world.”

Tristan
Cajar, while planning and directing the movements of 300 ships
for the U.S. Navy in the Arabian Gulf in 2003:
“[Taking the HUX program] was difficult at first, but
then I realized I could turn my scholarship into a hobby.
I am imbuing myself in my work whenever I get the chance.
This has been my anchor to sanity. . . . The program has given
me the understanding that I’m no longer just a cog in
the wheel of a war, but a needed part in supporting our freedom.”
