Give to BYU

Brigham Young University

INSPIRING LEARNING is what Brigham Young University is all about; the phrase summarizes the university’s mission “to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life.”

Giving Opportunities

"The razor-sharp focus of our teaching and our research—and indeed every aspect of the student experience here at BYU—must be the transformative successes of our incredible students."

—President C. Shane Reese

BYU President's Report

As we near Brigham Young University’s sesquicentennial, our campus is charged with becoming “a Christ-centered, prophetically directed university of prophecy.” We have come a long way in nearly 150 years, but we are not there yet. 

In statistics we talk about a process called change point detection. In essence, these are statistical methods that aim to detect changes either as soon as they occur in a real-time setting or retrospectively in samples of data collected in the past. 

Our campus quest to become BYU will require change points. We may stumble along the way, but, with the right desire and the Lord’s enabling power, we will succeed.
