A Message From Deborah Hunter

2020 marks the 50th year since the founding of the University of Vermont’s graduate program in Higher Education and Student Affairs and for the past 35 of those years, Professor Deb Hunter has been a central figure in shaping UVM’s program and positioning it as one of the leaders in graduate preparation in our field. Her impact upon our profession is vast, as over 560 master’s degree and doctoral students have benefited from her commitment to preparing students for the “haunting questions” that accompany the complexities of student affairs professional practice. Deb’s leadership with UVM’s annual Legal Issues in Higher Education conference since its inception 29 years ago has resulted in bringing together academic and student affairs administrators to address timely legal issues affecting our institutions. Dr. Hunter’s allegiance to ACPA has been steadfast, as she has long served as a member and Chair of ACPA’s Commission on Professional Preparation and as a contributing presenter at our conferences. ACPA honored her as an Annuit Coeptis Senior Professional.
