BYU MPA/EMPA STUDENT HANDBOOK MODERN DAY PIONEERS We need modern political, economic, and social pioneers and nonconformists who cannot be deterred by material plenty, political ambition, or social diversions. We need American pioneers with a national and world vision and a national and world identity based on a dedication to the principles of human liberty, social justice, world peace, economic abundance, and the divine rights of man.
