Brent Hunter has been appointed director of development in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Cal State San Bernardino.

Hunter, who began his position on Nov. 1, was most recently the director of development at the School of Business Administration at University of California, Riverside.

Hunter brings a wide spectrum of experience in program development, building volunteer and community support, as well as creating recognition activities. He also has held a variety of leadership roles in business management.

The critical role that CSUSB plays in creating a positive economic future for the county of San Bernardino is very important, and Im looking forward to contributing to that role, said Hunter.

Brent brings a depth of experience in private business and nonprofit fundraising that will broaden CSUSBs philanthropic efforts to increase student scholarships, strengthen opportunities for faculty research and enhance the learning environment on campus, said Cindi Pringle, CSUSBs associate vice president of development.

I believe the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences will have a huge opportunity to grow its alumni support along with business and community support for our students and programs, said Hunter.

He earned a bachelors degree in economics with a minor in anthropology from UC Santa Barbara and a masters degree in urban institutions and systems from Claremont Graduate University.

Im excited to find relevance between my academic background and the work that I do, Hunter said. Working in the area of economics and anthropology within the college fits so nicely with my experience and knowledge.
