Juan Hurtado, a class of 2023 Connecticut College graduate who majored in mathematics with a minor in Jewish Studies, joined Brooks in the fall of 2023 as a mathematics teacher, faculty member in the Learning Center and a squash coach. When Hurtado isn’t in the classroom, Learning Center or on the squash courts, he is most likely reading, writing his ideas down or wanting to play chess. Born in New Haven, Conn., he has always been excited to try new pizza places whenever he goes!
