Hunter Eberhardt
Student, Class of 2024
“Professor Sean Sloan is by far my most influential professor at Oregon Tech. I’ve taken just about every class he teaches and am slated to take the test during the course of my senior year. He explains material in a way that makes sense, and he welcomes questions and additional learning. I’ve always felt that he’s extremely accessible and easy to get along with, leading to a high percentage of his students being successful.”
