02-University Culture

​LEADERSHIP WITH A SMALL "L"

President Kim B. Clark said in his devotional address,“The call to be a disciple-leader is a call to minister and to serve. It is a call to lead as Christ leads. It is leadership with a small “L” - the kind of leadership that builds and lifts and inspires through kindness and love and unselfish devotion to the Lord and His work... It is the kind of leadership you will need to build an
eternal family.”

PRESIDENT EYRING'S INAUGURAL RESPONSE

​In President Eyring’s Inaugural Response he said, “Thanks to prophetic direction and the financial support of the Church, we stand on higher ground... we are blessed to be both a haven and a light to the world. We are similarly blessed as we minister to one another on this campus. May we honor our institutional birthright by building upon the providential preparations of the past and qualifying for Heaven’s continuing direction.”  

As you prepare for BYU-Idaho, remember that you are a light unto the world. This University will only give you more opportunities now and in the future to share that light with others.
