President's Report
BYU’s Vital Place in the Economy and Future of the Church
In 1999 President Gordon B. Hinckley addressed the priesthood session of general conference discussing “why we do some of the things we do.” His first topic was the Church’s sponsorship of BYU. He said it was rooted in doctrine and has an infinite influence. President Thomas S. Monson has reaffirmed the importance of BYU. Read President Samuelson’s most recent posting in President's Report. The report highlights how donations benefit students.
"Our BYU mission is chartered in the great opportunity and challenge to be learning and teaching all the time in a world of change while remaining true and firm in our values and moral compass, which do not change."

The Mission of Brigham Young University
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.
