Derek Hansen
Professor, School of Technology | Engineering & Technology
Why Honors? My undergraduate honor's experience opened my eyes to what a broad and integrated education could be and set me on a path of interdisciplinary scholarship that continues to this day. We need more scholars and thinkers who can see the world holistically as they swap and combine different disciplinary lenses.

Associate Professor, Nutrition, Dietetics & Food Science | Life Sciences
Why Honors? I am interested in multidisciplinary learning. My own experience at BYU is a demonstration of my multidisciplinary approach to education.
