Providing a Global Perspective

“Some of my most valuable experiences are a result of my international travels and the exposure I have had to various cultures around the world,” says Mark Hunt, a 1985 graduate of the College of Health Sciences in Health Administration.

Mr. Hunt is a member of the College of Health Sciences Philanthropy Board. Thanks in part to his generosity and commitment to internationalization, the college has been able to offer financial assistance to UK’s Health Sciences students traveling abroad for academic credit.

“It is exciting to be part of the growth and development of the international programs at the College of Health Sciences,” affirms Mr. Hunt. “The opportunity to support international service learning and experiences is one of the main reasons I have chosen to provide financial support to the college. Exploring other cultures will afford students an appreciation of the global health care needs that exist, while allowing them to experience both personal and professional rewards.”

Mr. Hunt recently became a member of the Fellows Society, which recognizes donors who have given or pledged $10,000 or more to the university. The former Vice President of Business Development for Genoa Consulting, Mr. Hunt has recently started his own healthcare consulting company providing business development and merger and acquisition services. “As a senior health care executive,” he says, “It is rewarding to support the college which has provided me the invaluable education and path for my success today.”
