At the Alumni Association, we believe the light we hold as alumni can be magnified when we connect with others who share the Spirit of the Y. We are dedicated to cultivating that spirit by keeping you informed about the good works faculty and alumni are doing in the world and by providing opportunities for you to learn, volunteer, contribute, and serve with the students, programs, and activities of your alma mater—keeping you “Connected for Good.”

Mission

Building lifelong relationships.

 

To cultivate the spirit of the Y.

 

To find, recruit, position and retain the best people.

 

To help others identify and feel the spirit of the Y.

 

To engage and partner with BYU constituencies and church leaders to cultivate the spirit of the Y.

 

To invite a reconnection to BYU at all activities.

 

To go forth to serve.

President Steve Densley concluded the meeting with a Presidential Parable from Brave Heart: "I don't want to reach the end of life and look back to learn I never really lived."
