BYU Education Week to Be Broadcast to Stake Centers

To extend educational opportunities to more Church members, the Church Educational System (CES) and Brigham Young University have announced plans for a pilot broadcast of portions of the university’s Campus Education Week program during 20–23 August. This pilot effort will be broadcast over the Church satellite system to stake centers in the United States and Canada and will also be seen on KBYU-TV.

Campus Education Week, begun in 1922, utilizes BYU’s Provo campus for one week to present more than 1,000 classes on education, religion, marriage, family relations, health, history, genealogy, science, youth interests, and other areas. Designed primarily for adults, it is believed to be the largest continuing education program of its type. It was the first major program of the Extension Division of BYU and is the foundation program upon which the current CES Continuing Education programs were built.

The purpose behind the one-week program is the same as that of the Church Educational System, explained Neil Carlile, associate director of the CES Continuing Education Programs—South: to help “bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39). The classes presented during Education Week have been established to help members strengthen their testimonies of Jesus Christ and his gospel; read and ponder the scriptures and the words of the living prophets; marry in the temple and make their homes effective and stable as they strive to become an eternal family; develop their capacity to share truths and desire to serve other members of the Church and the community at large; improve their vocational competence, work habits, and industriousness; and develop their self-respect, creativity, and problem-solving ability.

Three sessions from each day’s presentations (Tuesday through Friday) will be broadcast over the satellite system. For further information, contact CES Continuing Education Program, 278 HCEB, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602-1507; phone (801) 378-2087.
