The 2023-24 BYU school year began with new president Shane Reese declaring that the university’s challenge during his administration would be “to become the BYU of prophecy and promise,” at the same time a great institution of learning and “an anointed university of the Lord.”
On Thursday, the school year culminated in commencement exercises for 7,198 graduates, who were invited to become their “best BYU gospel self” by Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“On a personal level, becoming BYU invites us to become our truest, best BYU self in lifelong faith, service and discipleship,” he said.
