Matthew Tyler is the first student from the College of Family, Home and Social Sciences’ Family History-Genealogy program to conduct research in China. He spent 6 weeks as an intern collecting Chinese records and tracing family ancestry back more than 2,000 years. President Spencer W. Kimball invited church members to reach out to the people of China and Tyler took this invitation to heart and decided to “give a gift to the Chinese people.”

Traveling to the north and south poles in order to conduct research, BYU graduating student Natasha Griffin took advantage of the opportunities that accompanied her major in environmental science. Griffin worked with the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long-Term Ecological Research Group in Antarctica, evaluating changes in the environment due to microscopic worms and microfauna. Griffin hopes to use her minor in writing and rhetoric to report and communicate her findings.
