Spotlight
One day, in Vincent Hui���s first year as a Toronto Met professor, a woman carried a stack of pizzas into the studio. No one claimed them, so Hui assumed the delivery was a prank. His students were hungry, though���they���d been working hard���so he reached for his wallet. The woman waved his money away. Her son was his student, she told him, and the food was a thank you for all that Hui had done for him and his classmates. ���I was humbled,��� Hui says. ���It was such a powerful reminder of the trust that parents and students place in me.���
Hui takes that responsibility to heart. Known for his boundless energy, this multi-award-winning professor goes above and beyond to make sure his students have everything they need to excel. One of those things is advanced technology: how to integrate it with architecture to make our lives better. Under Hui���s tutelage, his students have been involved in exciting projects���from digital fabrication, to apps, to augmented reality. It���s the kind of innovative education that ensures there will be many more thank-you pizzas in Hui���s future. ���I should be the one buying,��� he says. ���It���s a privilege to teach these amazing young minds.���
