BYU Enriched Environment Statement
For a mix of students who share values
based on the gospel of Jesus Christ and
come from a variety of backgrounds
and experiences. This is an important
educational asset to BYU.
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
PROVIDE
Brigham Young University is committed to a campus
environment that is inclusive, free from discrimination, and
reflects the backgrounds and values of the worldwide LDS
Church population. In March 2005, the Board of Trustees
approved and implemented the University Statement on
Fostering an Enriched Environment that describes, in part,
the mission of BYU and the attributes and characteristics of
the students it seeks to serve:
“The mission of Brigham Young University—founded,
supported, and guided by the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints—is to assist individuals in their quest for
perfection and eternal life. That assistance should provide
a period of intensive learning in a stimulating setting where
a commitment to excellence is expected and the full
realization of human potential is pursued.”
To this end, the university seeks qualified students of
various talents and backgrounds, including geographic,
educational, cultural, ethnic and racial, who relate together
in such a manner that they are “no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the
household of God.” It is the University’s judgment that
providing educational opportunities for a mix of students
who share values based on the gospel of Jesus Christ and
come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences is an
important educational asset to BYU.
of various talents and backgrounds, including
geographic, educational, cultural, ethnic and racial, who
