Foundation

The Jane Sherrian Hunt Memorial Scholarship is established by the CVCC Support Staff Association as a memorial to Jane Sherrian Hunt. Mrs. Hunt was employed at CVCC for 23 years and was an active member of the CVCC Support Staff Association, having served as its president. She began her career in Student Services as a secretary. In 1979 her career path led her to serve as a secretary in Administration, and in 1984 she was promoted to Administrative Assistant to CVCC founding President Robert E. Paap. Mrs. Hunt retired as Assistant to President Cuyler A. Dunbar, having loyally served the only two presidents that have led CVCC. In addition, she was elected to serve as Secretary to the CVCC Trustee Board, becoming the first person other than the college president to serve in that position.

The value of education was very apparent in Mrs. Hunt’s actions as she created a very caring and warm environment for all visitors to the President’s office. She not only welcomed community leaders, but also enthusiastically welcomed students, staff and faculty. Mrs. Hunt was very dedicated as a CVCC student, having been awarded a Business Administration Certificate in 1989 and an Associate Degree in Business Administration in 1997 (with Honors).

Mrs. Hunt will always be remembered at CVCC for her personal and professional attributes. This memorial scholarship will continue her tireless belief in the benefits of education provided by CVCC.
