Letter to the Editor: Giving thanks through “Light

    I have been reflecting on the season of Thanksgiving and the recent prophetic talks regarding gratitude. One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned has been to recognize the opportunities I have been given as a student at BYU.

    As a member of the Lighting the Way Student Campaign committee, I had the honor to work with people who live according to the principle of gratitude. As a committee of students and faculty, our goal was to provide a way for each student to express their gratitude by giving back to BYU.

    The campaign committee conducted a survey of BYU students concerning the campaign. The survey revealed that a majority of students did not understand the reasons behind the campaign. The Lighting the Way Student Campaign is centered around the principle of gratitude. It provides an opportunity to share a brighter “BYU experience” with those who will follow. BYU students can still participate in the campaign by giving to the fund. Donation slips are available at the Alumni House. It is never too late to show our gratitude in “Lighting the Way” for future.
