Honor Code at BYU, Being Single in “Mormon-Dom”& Abuse Trainings
About this Podcast:
On this episode of the Natasha Helfer Podcast, Mike Christensen joines to share his experience at BYU and as a single adult in "Mormon-dom."
About the Guest:
Mike holds a Bachelor of Science in Geography from Brigham Young University, a Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Science from Northwest Missouri State University, an Interdisciplinary Graduate Certificate in Sustainability from the University of Utah, and a Master of City and Metropolitan Planning from the University of Utah. He is a member of the American Planning Association, the Congress for the New Urbanism, Strong Towns, the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals, and the National Rail Passengers Association, and is certified by the American Institute of Certified Planners and accredited by the Congress for the New Urbanism . He currently serves on the board of the Utah Chapter of the Congress for the New Urbanism and on the board of the National Rail Passengers Association . Mike wrapped up a four-year term on Salt Lake City’s Planning Commission in September and spent one of those years as vice-chair and another as chair of the commission.
Upon finishing grad school in 2018, Mike founded the Utah Rail Passengers Association nonprofit in order to advocate for expanding intercity passenger rail across Utah and into neighboring states and has served as its executive director ever since. He has become an expert on the failed policies propping up the "American Dream" of the 20th century and is trying to devote his life to fixing the damage that has been done to our communities by decades of investing in the wrong infrastructure. Mike ditched his car in 2017 and walks, bikes, and rides transit to get everywhere.
But Mike is here for a different reason. He has inside knowledge of how the Church Education System enforces the Honor Code and is here to share.
