President Oaks served as president of BYU from 1971 to 1980. He addressed campus briefly during commencement in April 2025 when his friend, Judge J. Clifford Wallace, was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Law and Public Service from the university. President Oaks also spoke during a campus devotional in 2022, where he asked the university community, “How are we measuring up” to Church President Spencer W. Kimball’s 1975 call to be “unique” and “special”?

The video and text of President Oaks’ message will be available later in the Gospel Library app and ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Read or watch past BYU devotional addresses and see the schedule for upcoming speakers at speeches.byu.edu.
