Background

For 20 years, The Hunt Institute has been a magnetic force, attracting policymakers from both sides of the aisle who are interested in improving education. We are motivated to build upon Governor Jim Hunt’s legacy to connect education leaders and create positive change in education policy, not only in North Carolina, but also across the nation.
