Tribune Editorial: Welcome to new UVU President Astrid S. Tuminez

Tuminez comes to UVU from Microsoft, where she was the regional director for corporate, external and legal affairs in Southeast Asia. She has a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University, a master’s degree from Harvard University and a doctorate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as a publications list that runs two pages long.

A university with a leader experienced in international business can only help Utah’s ability to attract foreign investment, export goods and provide skilled workers for our increasingly global economy.

The Tribune’s Tiffany Caldwell reported that Tuminez “was the vice dean of research and the assistant dean of executive education at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.
