Kate was a force of nature. She shined like a star, always bringing light and joy to everyone around her. Being a student at MIT is difficult, but Kate faced the challenges head on, fearless. She was passionate about changing the world, and she was diligent to learn everything she could, even if the courses were hard, because she knew the knowledge that she would gain would help her better the world.
Beyond school, Kate lived a full life. She was an active member in the MIT community. Her freshman year, she rowed as a part of the Women’s Lightweight Crew team. Afterwards, she became a member of the Cycling Club and Dance Troupe. Kate loved staying active and eating healthy. She promoted health and wellness among her friends, and she became a Medlink for her living group, Sigma Kappa, because she wanted to help everyone, anytime.
But Sigma Kappa was one of Kate’s most important communities. From her motivational early morning breakfasts to her comforting and listening heart, she made Sigma Kappa better. She taught us sisters so much, but everyone could also see how much she grew and changed as well because of Sigma Kappa.
While Kate’s time in Sigma Kappa was too short, she will always be remembered. The Kate Hunter Scholarship will honor a current sophomore year, initiated sister of high character and who has shown personal growth, as a tribute to Kate’s life and journey as a Sigma Kappa and student at MIT. Please donate to help increase our endowment fund to establish the Kate Hunter Scholarship and to help remember Kate's spirit and dreams.
