Catherine Black, professor of dance at Brigham Young University, will encourage students on the topic "Don't Miss the Miracle" Tuesday at 11:05 a.m. in the Marriott Center where she will address the university devotional.
The devotional will be broadcast live on the BYU Broadcasting channels. For rebroadcast information, visit byubroadcasting.org.
Professor Black earned a master of fine arts degree at the University of Utah and has been a BYU faculty member since that time.
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, to immigrant parents and raised in the Russian Orthodox faith, Black joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1973.
Her message will focus on a range of miracles that led her to establish contact with relatives in the lands of her ancestors and to adopt two young girls with remarkable ties to her family.
