Set out to make a difference- Our Mission

We provide an enriching, supportive, group living environment that embraces the Student Living  teachings of Love, Mutual Respect and Shared Responsibility. We recognize and value the unique contribution and individual needs of each resident, while emphasizing spiritual development and academic excellence.

"We do not want an environment on this campus characterized by self-appointed, judgmental, and self-righteous spiritual vigilantes. We do want an environment on this campus where appropriately and genuinely concerned “neighbors” in the true scriptural sense of the word neighbor, would remind, help, and encourage us to consistently think, speak, and act in a way that invites the Spirit of the Holy Ghost among us” (David A. Bednar, “In the Path of their Duty,” BYU-Idaho Devotional, Sept. 1, 1998).  ​​
