What do you like most about being a Hunt Scholar?

By far, the best thing about being a Hunt scholar is the Hunt “community.” Hunt scholars are some of the most motivated and creative individuals on campus. Being a part of this group means you get to be surrounded by these incredible people. Their “spark” is contagious, and they constantly inspire me to go out, make a mark, and try to change things for the better!
