Students and faculty fill the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah, to listen to a devotional with Elder Patrick Kearon of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Sister Jennifer Kearon, on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024. Abby Shelton, BYU

During the semester, students, faculty and the campus community from each of the Church schools — Brigham Young University, BYU–Idaho, BYU–Hawaii, Ensign College and BYU–Pathway Worldwide — gather regularly to hear messages, perspectives and counsel from Church leaders, university leaders, and other experts, scholars and guests.

While many of the messages are geared toward the young adult student populations of the institutions, Latter-day Saints throughout the Church are invited to participate in these devotionals, most of which are available online.

This semester’s lineup includes several members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles — Elder Ulisses Soares speaking at Ensign College, Elder Gary E. Stevenson and Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf speaking at BYU, Elder David A. Bednar speaking at BYU–Idaho and Elder Gerrit W. Gong speaking at BYU–Hawaii — as well as many other general authorities and general officers.
