Andy Hunt

What I enjoy most about working in the Office of Student Success (OSS) is watching our students go from struggling to thriving. I love seeing their faces turn from sad, anxious, or frustrated to calm, smiling, and joyful after they attend one of our events, take advantage of the services we offer, or simply stop by our office in between classes for a quick check-in or a snack. I feel good knowing that the OSS is making such a positive difference in the lives of our music students here at FSU!

A native of Greensboro, NC, Andy Hunt discovered a love of music and the arts at a young age. Hunt graduated from Stetson University with a degree in Instrumental Music Education (2014) and went on to earn the Master of Music degree in Woodwind Performance (clarinet) from Ball State University (2016) and the Professional Performer’s Certificate in Clarinet Performance from Penn State (2018). He eventually made his way into the arts administration world, working as an assistant in the Florida State University College of Music Admissions Office for almost four years. Hunt received the Master of Arts degree in Arts Administration from FSU in 2023 and now works in the College’s newly-formed Office of Student Success.

Hunt is passionate about diversifying and creating more access to the arts as well as supporting the next generation of music professionals. He remains active as a musician in the community, performing with the Tallahassee Winds, the Tallahassee Community Chorus, and as a church musician. He is also a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the International Clarinet Association, and Pi Kappa Lambda.
