As Utah’s longest-serving college president, President Christensen provided dedicated leadership to students, faculty, staff, trustees, partners, and communities across the Mountainland region.

During his leadership, MTECH experienced record-setting growth, including the expansion of the college’s regional footprint in Heber, Payson, and Provo. The college also grew to serve more than 7,000 students annually.

Moreover, President Christensen is a servant leader, a friend to all, and an incredible mentor to those around him.

While he may be retiring, the impact of President Christensen’s leadership will remain a lasting part of MTECH.

Thank you, President Christensen. We wish you all the best in retirement.
