BYU-Hawaii President's Report
Aloha from President Wheelwright
BYU-Hawaii's rich cultural heritage is reflected through the magnificent potential its future holds. The blessing of being here at this time brings with it an added responsibility to help those attending to achieve the possibilities awaiting them.
In order to best facilitate our students' growth and development, we endeavor to weave our efforts along two main themes: First, to educate for eternity, and combine innovation with inspiration; and second, to train our scholars as leaders of integrity and character.
By striving to integrate the best of secular truth with that of spiritual truth we offer our students instruction that will benefit them infinitely. Incorporating divine concepts invites faith and inspiration into our classrooms and results in both individual and collective blessings for those learning. While working to become educated obediently and faithfully, the Lord will bless us with inspiration and insight. We are his children, and as such are heirs to all He has, including all knowledge, all power, and all wisdom.
Along with that secular and spiritual wisdom, we desire to send forth our students as individuals with integrity at the core of their characters. Adhering to the components of the Honor Code encourages our students to hold high standards in all aspects of their lives, and as we learn in the Book of Mormon, obedience to those small and simple things strengthens and prepares us for the marvelous works that a loving Father desires to bless us with. The blessing of being in an environment where a higher standard prevails and where the Spirit can inspire and enlarge all that goes on across this campus will have a lasting effect as our graduates enter the world to be leaders of integrity.
By focusing our efforts on these central objectives of joining academics with divine understanding, and instilling integrity in our students' character, BYU-Hawaii is able to provide a remarkable experience and education for its students. Thank you for your support in working to improve the experience, as well as making the institution an increasingly more available opportunity for all those wishing to attend.
