Legacy of a beloved professor
亨特于1978年8月来到SAC，担任新闻项目的教员. He served as a faculty advisor to the Ranger 并于2006年退休，担任新闻摄影系主任一职. He chronicled his life and career in a blog full of memories, history and humor.

前SAC主席罗伯特·齐格勒(Robert Zeigler)说，亨特帮助塑造了圣安东尼奥学院. 他以前的许多学生都在新闻业取得了成功, with some even winning a Pulitzer prize.

In addition to his professionalism, former students and colleagues remember his kindness, encouragement and remarkable patience.

SAC新闻项目实验室技术员特里西娅·布赫霍恩不仅是亨特的前学生, but was also his colleague when she joined the program staff.

她对他最美好的回忆之一就是他的存在给她带来安慰.

“他有一种不同于其他教授的镇静效果，”布赫霍恩说.

Buchhorn recalled when, as a photo editor for a student publication, she clashed with another editor about a page design. 就在两人争吵的时候，亨特迅速重新设计了整个页面，并把它摆在他们面前.

"In a matter of minutes, 他重新设计了整个页面，让我们俩都停在原地," she said. "He never said a word, he just put it in front of us, 它满足了我们对彼此的要求，创造了一个解决方案."

布赫霍恩说，他还以一种富有同情心的方式将反馈转化为学习机会. If the latest edition of the student newspaper was published at 9 a.m., Hunt would call by 10 a.m. with corrections offered as suggestions, Buchhorn said.

"He was never negative and always positive. It was never 'you screwed this up.她说:“我总是说‘你可能想看看这个’或‘下次考虑做这个’。.

When she went on to pursue a bachelor's degree, 布赫霍恩意识到，她在SAC的新闻培训使她能够与其他学生竞争.

她说:“我很早就知道，我的技能已经达到或超过了我的同学。. "SAC put us ahead of others at a four-year university."

当她以摄影顾问的身份回到新闻项目时，他继续指导她.

"He didn't expect you to know everything, so he would guide you with ideas and give you feedback," Buchhorn said. "It was never anything derogatory. 这只是为了帮助我提高，因为提高我也会提高整个部门."

Revitalized journalism program
亨特给亨特家族新闻捐赠奖学金的礼物是SAC新闻项目一系列进展中的最新进展.

这个节目最近成为广播/电视/电影系的一部分, 让学生更容易成为多媒体记者，并在广播中探索新闻事业, television, print, social and other online media.

In May, the program launched The Sundial, an online student newspaper that replaces The Ranger, which ceased operations in 2021 after 95 years.  

Hunt would approve, Buchhorn said.

布赫霍恩说:“我想他会为圣安东尼奥学院仍然有新闻学而感到骄傲。.
