Upcoming Events

Symposiums held every other year, including the latest one on religious freedom among different global communities and time periods.

Truly the world can be our campus. But even as we travel to or study about different destinations, we are reminded that this mortal life is only a small part of a grander, eternal plan. Being at religious sites help us understand a bit more about the work our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ have done to aid us here on earth. Thus, the primary work of Religious Education—to provide spiritually strengthening and intellectually enlarging experiences—occurs in classrooms, offices, and wherever students prayerfully read their scriptures seeking answers and enlightenment. We look forward to the opportunities that this academic year will bring to provide the environment for these miracles to take place.
