Andrew Clayton Hughey

Andrew Clayton Hughey, 66, was born February 22, 1958, in Pittsburgh, PA to the late Andrew Raymond Hughey and Gloria Jane (Green) Hughey. 

Mr. Hughey received a B.A. in Rhetoric and Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt). During his years at Pitt, he joined the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Omicron Chapter. He later received his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Thomas R. Kline School of Law at Duquesne University. Mr. Hughey was also a member of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity and was inducted into Sigma Boulé, Dayton, OH in 2003. In 2011, he transferred to Nu Boulé in Houston, TX before transferring to Rho Boulé in Pittsburgh, PA in 2018.

Prior to his tenure at Ohio Northern, Hughey served the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) as Special Assistant to the President for Diversity and Inclusion; Texas Southern University as General Counsel; Central State University of Ohio as its inaugural General Counsel; and the University of Pittsburgh as an Associate General Counsel just after law school. 

Mr. Hughey loved spending time with his grandchildren, as well as traveling to Indianapolis and Charlottesville to visit them. Birmingham was another destination he frequently visited to enjoy holidays and special gatherings with family. Mr. Hughey was an avid fisherman, starting from a young age, well into his adult years; he enjoyed taking fishing trips with family and friends. He liked attending social events and was involved with the Boy Scouts. He spent most of his leisure time playing golf and enjoyed getting up early to play. He also taught family members how to play. If he was not up early golfing, he was out enjoying early morning walks. He liked attending the symphony and theater to enjoy the performing arts. He also loved watching sporting events, especially the Pittsburgh Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins. Up until his passing, he was surrounded by his family and friends with love. He served as Sr. Vice President and General Counsel of Point Park University since August 2022, before which he served as the inaugural General Counsel of Ohio Northern University.
