Marriott Alumni Magazine MARRIOTT ALUMNI MAGAZINE Entrepreneurs: Taking Healthy Risks Crisis of Confidence Managing Continuous Change MARRIOTT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT | BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY | WINTER 2003 2003 marks the 20th anniversary of the Tanner Building—the first academic struc- ture on the BYU campus funded completely by donors. The building is named for successful businessman, Apostle, and three-time counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Nathan Eldon Tanner. The 120,000-square-foot structure is home of the Marriott School and serves 3,000 graduate and undergraduate management students and about 200 faculty, staff, and administrators. The building has a seven-story atrium and is finished in Rockville White Granite from Cold Springs, Minnesota.

  • Brigham Young University and Jerusalem Before Semester Abroad, 1931–1968
    Brigham Young University and Jerusalem before Semester Abroad, 1931–1968 Kahlile B. Mehr Kahlile B. Mehr ([email protected]) is a manager in the Records and Information Division of the Family and Church History Department in Salt Lake City. In addition, he serves on the executive committee of the Journal of Mormon History. The relationship between Brigham Young University and Jeru- salem is generally noted to have commenced with the first Semester Abroad program there in 1968. Yet precursors to that program go back to 1931 when BYU professors and staff studied Hebrew in Israel and came into contact with prominent Israelis. Though we recognize 1968 as the beginning of a formal relationship between the city and the university, understanding the informal relationships nurtured by a handful of forerunners helps us to appreciate the roots from which emerged both the Semester Abroad program and subsequently the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies. Forerunners who blazed the trail for the establishment of the center and Semester Abroad included a BYU Travel Study program, which functioned as the institutional arm of BYU in Jerusalem; indi- vidual professors who studied Hebrew in language schools, became acquainted with the country, and imbibed its biblical heritage; and an Israeli dance group from the Pasadena California Stake. The experi- ences of individuals involved in these programs engendered a desire to broaden the involvement of BYU and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the religious heritage of Jerusalem. The purpose of this article is to trace a brief history of these individuals and groups in the Holy Land, noting the contribution each made.

Having served six Tyears as chairman of the Department of Ancient Scripture, he was well acquainted with Religious Instruction’s objectives and functions, and he was virtually the unanimous choice of the faculty. He was a popu- lar speaker and qualified writer, having served as editor for the Church Educational System. Because of his service on the committee producing new editions of the standard works, he was well acquainted with the General Authorities and their views. At a special faculty meeting, he set the tone for his leadership by counseling the faculty: “All should work 53 Teaching the Word with an eye single to the glory of God. If we do this, we will succeed. If we work with an eye single to our glory alone, we will not succeed.”1 Name Changed to Religious Education By 1983 the name “Religious Instruction” was changed to “Religious Education” because members of this unit do far more than classroom instruct- ing.
