UNC
While the Hunt Institute’s work is national in
scope, it also has an active role to serve within North
Carolina. As such, the Hunt Institute’s home at
the University
of North Carolina is the ideal place to conduct
our work. The Hunt Institute complements and helps advance
the University's three part mission of teaching, research
and public service. Through its convening of national
leaders in education research and practice, the Hunt
Institute places the University’s 16-campus system
at the vanguard of the national imperative to improve
public education and helps keep UNC on the leading edge
of educational progress.
The Hunt Institute’s unique and integral relationship
with UNC is reflected in the Institute’s focus
on research and policy analysis tied to systemic and
continuous improvement in education. The Institute’s
seminars and symposia demonstrate our partnership with
the University.
These programs include:
- North-Carolina-focused workshops for school board
chairs, superintendents and other local education
leaders
- Orientations for new school board members and county
and city leaders
- Seminars for legislative leaders
- Summits of state leadership teams
The Hunt Institute’s programs have substantive
impact on work being conducted in higher education,
as well as public schools. This positive impact extends
across a range of programs throughout the University
by providing opportunities for faculty research initiatives,
internships for graduate and undergraduates, interactions
with the leaders who visit the Institute and participation
in Institute programs.
