About the Library
Mission and Vision
Dr. David Glenn Hunt was Galveston College’s founding president. He helped start Galveston College as it opened its doors in 1967 and the Library was named in his honor.
The mission of the David Glenn Hunt Memorial Library is to promote engaged scholarship by providing
access to innovative resources and social spaces and cultivating excellence in student success, teaching, learning, and research. We collaboratively support access, discovery, and lifelong learning skills for all Galveston College students, faculty, staff, and the extended college community.
