Speaker’s Bio
Dr. Dr. Myles L. Lynch is a Senior Lecturer within the College of Arts and Sciences (OASIS Program) at VinUniversity. Dr. Lynch is a social scientist and received his Ph.D. and M.S. in Education and Recreation Management from the University of New Hampshire, USA. Prior to arriving at VinUniversity, Dr. Lynch served as the Head of Research and Development for Point Avenue, a Hanoi based Education Technology Company. In addition, Dr. Lynch is a former Camp Director for the YMCA of Greater Boston and has led domestic and international service-based trips to Yellowstone National Park, Zion National Park, and throughout Vietnam.

Dr. Lynch’s passion for Experiential Education began as a child when he attended summer camp near the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He developed a passion for recreation and nonformal learning settings. Dr. Lynch believes meaningful education should focus on hands-on and project-based experiences. Dr. Lynch’s scholarly work reflects this sentiment and is focused on empirically investigating outcomes associated with recreation experience and the psychological components of creativity and motivation in nonformal settings.
