Students at each of the Church’s institutions of higher learning — BYU, BYU–Idaho, BYU–Hawaii, Ensign College and BYU–Pathway Worldwide — have the opportunity to regularly hear messages and counsel from Church leaders, university leaders and other experts, scholars and guests.
Each week, or each month in the case of BYU–Pathway Worldwide, students, faculty and the greater campus community gather for a campus devotional. These devotionals generally enable Church leaders to expound on their topic or issue during a 40-minute time span.
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.
Below is a list of the posted speaker lineups for the winter 2024 semester and how to tune in.
