Eric Hunter

Study Abroad Advisor

My name is Eric Hunter and I am the Study Abroad Advisor. When I was going through my undergraduate degree at the University of Utah I participated in a study abroad program in the Dominican Republic. I lived in the Dominican Republic for 6 weeks and was able to learn Spanish during that time, which I needed to graduate for my Bachelor’s degree. Being a part of an international program and having traveled to various places in the Caribbean and Europe, I believe that going abroad has the ability to change your life and the way you see the world. I look forward to speaking with you regarding your educational goals and how going abroad will enhance them.

Education
Bachelors: English, University of Utah
Masters: Educational Leadership and Policy, University of Utah

Hobbies
Spending time with my 3 adorable children and watching anime when time permits.

She graduated from Snow College in 2016 with her AS in General Studies, and graduated in Spring 2020 from Weber State with her BS in Athletic Therapy. She hopes to become a Doctor in the future to help immigrants and those that have little or no insurance receive the healthcare they deserve.

Emma Dog

The Goodest Girl

This is Emma Dog. Emma Dog is a superhero, who is masqueraded as a common, mild-mannered dog. She is not terribly good at her masquerade, because no one has ever described her as “mild mannered.” She is 4 in dog years, 35 in human years, or 131 years old in common housefly years.

Greatest loves are all people ever, other dogs, swimming, walks, hikes, cuddles, praise, grass, snow, food (not veggies!) and sleeping. Dislike fireworks and long car rides. Kryptonite = Inflatable lawn ornaments… Those things are terrifying!

If you’re ever having a bad day, call on Emma Dog. Her super power is making anything a bit better.
