  4. Importance of Education cont’d 2011 Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life National Survey The Pew study concluded that this tendency toward faithfulness as education increases is not common among other religious groups, making education particularly relevant to Latter-day Saints.1 1http://www.pewforum.org/uploadedFiles/Topics/Religious_Affiliation/Christian/Mormon/Mormons%20in%20America.pdf

  5. Laying the Foundation “…we must also find ways for this college to serve young people whose needs are shaped by a great variety of cultures and situations, and who may not be able to come to this campus…we will find direct ways to move the blessings of education—the struggle for perfection—from this campus out into the lives of men and women everywhere.” President Henry B. Eyring, Inaugural Response, December 1971.

  6. Laying the Foundation • “…reaching out to bless the lives of tens of thousands of young Latter-day Saints throughout the world. We must learn to assist and bless institute students and other LDS youth in Rhode Island and Rome while effectively serving our students on campus in Rexburg.” • President David A. Bednar, Inaugural Response, February 1998.

  7. Laying the Foundation • “…we will find new ways to use informationtechnology to reach more students and to deepen the learning experience of those we touch. In a day not far from now, we will be able to break down the barriers of time and space and…create outstanding, interactive educational experiences. In these experiences students will teach one another in new and powerful ways.” • President Kim B. Clark, Inaugural Response, October 2005.
