Hassan Riggs, Information and Knowledge Strategy ’14 (capstone completion ’13), a B2B Marketing and Integrated Insights manager at Hilton Worldwide, was honored as one of "100 Men of Distinction" through Black Enterprise’s Modern Man program.
Riggs was highlighted for many reasons, including his contributions to his community, where he volunteers and mentors at-risk students and works to give these kids more opportunities. He also has smart insight into the workplace, and shares his core beliefs on how to be a leader and to make a difference in the world:
The 2026 M.S. in Strategic Communication graduate and U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant commander reflects on leadership, trust and moving from communicating instinctively to communicating intentionally.
Ramos (’23SPS), now head of AI and data science at Blooms, reflects on working with limited data, translating results for non-technical clients and building a repeatable framework for every project since.
