Heard at Huntsman

December 6, 2022

The Huntsman School cares deeply about the connections students make with faculty. Those relationships often last a lifetime. Here are a few alumni sharing meaningful moments of their professors.

Jacob Peart

 The professors at Huntsman were incredible! Most of them have corporate experience that they incorporate into their teachings which helped me understand what to expect and how to be successful. They also incorporate case studies that help teach applicable lessons and generate problem solving skills.

Sam Paepke

  In my first meeting for the Huntsman Scholar program, Associate Dean Patel gave me the best advice of my college career -“Be open to opportunity.” I did my best to seek out and make the most of opportunities, and I believe any student can do the same.

Kauri Melessa

 Dr. Dunn has made a huge impact on my education. He taught the first Information systems course that I took. He was such a great teacher. I learned so much with pro-graming and computers that I never thought I would be able to.

— Kauri Melessa, ‘24, Information Systems

Trevor Magleby

 Professor Eric Schulz taught me the tools to be successful and I am so thankful that I was lucky enough to have him as a professor! During the time I have been at Energywise Solutions, we have in-creased sales over 4,000 percent. I can attribute most of that success to marketing content and advertising campaigns I have put together using kitchen logic and brand positioning. “Different, better, special” still rings in my ears each time we launch a new product.

Ashley Wilson

 The professors at Utah State are different than any other college. Professors [Cassidy] Creech and [Matthew] Meng gave me personal advice on how to start my own business. I feel that they truly care about my academic and personal success.
