Besides her research, Dr. Hunter also co-founded Lowell’s Native American Astronomy Outreach Program in 1996 with Dr. Amanda Bosh and continues to direct it. This is a science enrichment and outreach program for 4th-8th grade Native American teachers and their classes. Partly due to her commitment to this long-running and innovative program, Dr. Hunter was awarded the American Astronomical Society’s 2014 Education Prize.
