BYU announced Oct. 14 it will allow in-person attendance at the next devotional, scheduled for Oct. 27 with President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and his wife Kristen.
The announcement, sent by University Communications, said approximately 1,200 seats will be available for the campus community in the Marriott Center. A survey email will be sent out from Advancement Vice President Keith Vorkink Wednesday morning in which students, faculty and staff can submit their request for a ticket.
'Those who receive tickets will be required to wear a mask and show a green indicator on the 'Daily Checkup' screen of the Healthy Together app or complete the daily checkup, either online or physically on a blank form,' the announcement says.
The tickets available will be distributed randomly with physically-distanced, assigned seating. This will be the first publicly attended devotional since COVID-19 safety regulations restricted attendance in March 2020.
'If current campus trends continue, BYU plans to consider a similar approach to future devotionals this semester,' the announcement says.
