Welcoming our new academic advisors

The WSU Animal Sciences Department is ecstatic to announce that we have hired two highly qualified academic advisors to facilitate our student success. We know that we have the very best students and now we can provide the academic advising resources that they deserve to ensure that they have a great plan towards completion of their BS in Animal Sciences. We welcome academic advisors Lisa Hunter and Nancy Hernandez. They are located in the Animal Sciences main office—stop by to say hello, schedule your next advising appointment, and help us welcome them to the Animal Sciences family.

GO COUGS!!

Nancy Hernandez

Hello!

I am Nancy Hernandez, born and raised in Rupert, Idaho . I am a first-generation college graduate and professional. I attended the University of Idaho for my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. I received my bachelor’s in Child Development and Family Relations and my master’s in Family Consumer Science focusing on Latina entrepreneurs. I have enjoyed working in higher education, specifically in advising, because it allows me to support students’ career development. I am always looking forward to creating new methods to enhance the learning experience of students. I enjoy living in the Palouse because we have such a supportive community! I  look forward to working with everyone in the Animal Sciences Department.

Lisa Hunter

Hi everyone, I’m Lisa Hunter, and I’m excited to join the department as an Academic Advisor.

I’ve been working in academic advising for 14 years & this is my 27th year with WSU almost always working in student services. I’m passionate about supporting students in achieving their academic and personal goals. I’m especially interested in helping students navigate complex systems here at WSU and find a sense of belonging in their academic journey.  Why Animal Science?  My kids showed for 10 years within 4-H & FFA with sheep. My husband & I have also been known to raise cows for family consumption. 

Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors and gardening. I also volunteer within my community. I’m really looking forward to getting to know all of you and contributing to the great work happening here!
