Dr. Hugh J. Martin specializes in economics and management in media firms, encompassing varied digital and traditional media markets, including the effect of consumers' shift to digital media on content production - news, entertainment, music, movies, broadcasting and print.

Bruce Martin's love of the outdoors led him from being a camp counselor, raft guide, kayak instructor and Outward Bound instructor to his work as a researcher, speaker, writer and professor.

"I've always been curious about the meaning that people derive from adventure experience and how outdoor leaders can help people derive meaning from it," Martin said.

Every day seems to bring a new story about vacation, tourism and travel. As travelers share every leg of their journeys on social media, one thing has become abundantly clear – consumers shape their own experiences. Working at a five star hotel in Beijing led Dr. Sandy Chen to her life’s work – researching, writing and teaching about the hospitality industry with a focus on how guests affected their own service experience.
