Philbrick Monique Saenz Printing and Bindery BYU Print & Mail Production Center A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT e extend our aloha from BYU–Hawai‘i, where aloha is the Hawaiian greeting and expression of love. We appreciate your interest in our campus. Established and supported by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU–Hawai‘i is unique in both the Church Educational System and in higher education in America. With over 40 percent of our 2,350 students coming from nearly 70 nations, we are the most ethnically diverse campus in the U. S. BYU–Hawai‘i is closely linked with the Polynesian Cultural Center, the number one paid tourist attraction in Hawai‘i, where over 25 percent of our students work as guides, performers, food service personnel, and in a variety of other positions. BYU–Hawai‘i specializes in undergraduate education, combining the spiritual ideals of the gospel of Jesus Christ with excellent academic programs within our multicultural environment. In fact, we have been ranked as one of the best comprehensive universities in the western U. S. In his dedication of our campus in 1955, David O. McKay, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, declared that the event was the realization of a vision he had seen 34 years earlier when he witnessed a flag raising ceremony at the La-‘ie Elementary School. He was moved to tears by the children of many races who were united by the gospel of Jesus Christ and declared at that time that an institution of higher learning would be built in the little community of La-‘ie. Since those early days, President McKay’s vision has become both a legacy and a guiding light for our future. Students who attend here and employees who work here assume an important stewardship within this on-going mission of the campus. This stewardship was clearly stated from the beginning by President McKay when he said, “From this school will go forth men and women whose influence will be felt for good toward the establish- ment of peace internationally.” Indeed, our campus has become what was described by Marion G. Romney as a “living laboratory” in which the principles of peace practiced here can become a model for international peace. As we prepare for our Golden Jubilee Celebration in 2005, we look forward to enrolling those who desire to become a part of our campus mission, vision, and offerings.
