Whether you’re a plumber or a business executive, Dr. Michael Minch believes you should have an interest war, hunger, peace, and democracy. Of course, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and lose focus when one sees the problems we face today. That’s where Dr. Minch steps in to give students from all majors and backgrounds a practical approach to finding solutions to those problems.
The History of Utah Valley University
Stop where you’re standing and take a look around you. What do you see? Let me tell you.
