| Description |
In this interview, Diana Montano discusses her experiences growing up in Moroni, Utah, and her return after pursuing higher education in British Columbia. Now working at Snow College, she highlights both the opportunities and challenges of rural life, including the quiet atmosphere, strong community support, and the importance of volunteerism and civic engagement. Montano also addresses issues of diversity and inclusion, the impact of state legislation on educational resources, and the personal challenges she faced as a Mexican-American in a predominantly white community, while reflecting on her hopes for Moroni's future and the unique appeal of rural Utah. |
