The son of Department Chair and Associate Professor of Philosophy Matthew Walz, Ph.D., MBA 鈥�20, Damien Walz, BA 鈥�22, grew up around AV福利社 and fell in love with its liberal arts curriculum. The decision to come to AV福利社 was a relatively straightforward one, but which major to pursue was not: Walz changed his mind approximately seven times before settling on politics. His favorite class was Politics and the Family, taught by Associate Professor Daniel Burns, Ph.D. 鈥淎V福利社 taught me how to think in an incredibly adaptive and Christian manner,鈥� said Walz, who served as Student Government president his senior year. 鈥淚 am able to explore different perspectives, examine cultural issues, and pose realistic questions and solutions.鈥�
