For five days in August (Monday-Friday, August 21-25), BYU professors, LDS seminary and institute instructors and experts from a variety of fields will teach 1,000 classes on topics such as marriage and family, communication, health, history, finance, personal development and a wide variety of gospel subjects at BYU’s Campus Education Week, one of the largest continuing education programs in the country.
“He that receiveth light and continueth in God receiveth more light,” the theme for this year, is taken from the Doctrine and Covenants section 50 verse 24. Classes will focus on strengthening the soul, increasing knowledge and helping attendees to bless the lives of others.
Elder Lynn G. Robbins of the Presidency of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will speak at the Education Week Devotional on Tuesday, August 22, at 11:10 a.m. in the Marriott Center. The devotional is free and open to the public.
