In Memory of

Assemblyman Jerry Green

1939 - 2018

 

Union County College has had no better friend than the lion of the New Jersey Assembly, Assemblyman Jerry Green. Dedicated to the idea that education can transform a community, Assemblyman Green was a tireless advocate for community college education in New Jersey and helped ensure that Union County College was always able to provide everyone from the community the opportunity to receive an affordable, high quality college education.

 

In 2015, when he heard about the low graduation rates among African

American male students, Assemblyman Green joined with Assemblyman Jamel Holley and a number of Foundation Board members to raise funds to support the College's strategic initiative to close the achievement gap. Thanks to his leadership and dedication to the students of our community, the Union County College Foundation has had a dramatic impact on student success.

 

In honor of his commitment to Union County College and our students, the Foundation Board decided to hold this year's Close the

Gap Cocktail Reception in his memory.

Bob Hugin says he is running for United States Senate to ensure that opportunity is available for future generations growing up in every single community in New Jersey.   

Born and raised in New Jersey, Mr. Hugin grew up in a diverse, hardworking neighborhood in Union City, Hudson County.  He was the first person in his family to attend college, earning a full scholarship to Princeton University. After graduation, Mr. Hugin joined the United States Marine Corps where he served as an active duty infantry officer from 1976 to 1983. Mr. Hugin participated in multiple deployments and was an instructor at the Landing Force Training Command, Atlantic.

As a Reserve Officer from 1983 to 1990, his assignments included commanding officer roles in Virginia and Battalion staff officer assignments in New York. Upon leaving active duty in 1983, he earned his MBA from the Darden School of Graduate Business Administration at the University of Virginia and in 1985, he joined J.P. Morgan, ultimately leading several businesses and rising to be a Managing Director.

Most recently Mr. Hugin spent the last 19 years as a leader in healthcare and vocal advocate for modernizing the American healthcare system, serving as Chairman and CEO of the Celgene Corporation and as a Trustee of the Atlantic Health System for the last decade. Under Mr. Hugin's leadership and through the work of its employees, that company was transformed into one of New Jersey's largest private sector employers - an innovative biotech company that is now known around the world for leading the fight against cancer and chronic disease.

Mr. Hugin volunteers his time serving on the Board of Trustees of Princeton University, the Darden Foundation at UVA, and Family Promise, a national non-profit network assisting homeless families. He also serves on the NJ-based think tank Garden State Initiative and is the President of the trustees of his church.

At home Bob and his wife of thirty years, Kathy, are the proud parents of three children. Daughter Hilary and sons Robbie and Mac.
