The David O. McKay Lecture Series is a long-standing annual tradition at BYU–Hawaii and celebrates the university’s mission of learning, leading and building as embodied by the life and values of President David O. McKay (1873-1970), who served as ninth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Dr. Colton serves as Associate Dean in the College of Business, Computing and Government, and has earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, a master’s in business administration, and a Ph.D. in computer science and engineering. He has been at BYU–Hawaii since 1997.
The McKay Lecture Series is sponsored by the university’s Faculty Advisory Council (FAC) and “is designed to afford distinguished members of the faculty the opportunity to present insights from their fields of study and their reflections on the gospel.”
