BYU welcomes visitors to annual Campus Education Week
Right before the leaves change colors, and before football fans begin their fall rituals, thousands make their way to BYU campus to listen, learn and serve.
BYU’s Campus Education Week has been a staple in the community since 1922, and many consider it to be one of the most unique programs for adult education in America. This year’s event, themed “That All May be Edified,” will take place today through Friday at various locations across campus.
“This is the first year I’m attending, but I have wanted to come for many years.” said Cyndi Forsyth, a 1973 BYU graduate who studied child development and family relations. “I will be taking a wide range of classes for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.”
Forsyth said she is looking forward to relaxing and returning home filled with knowledge while receiving a spiritual boost.
“I am looking to improve my skills as the parent of adult children, as well as being an awesome grandmother,” Forsyth said.
According to Bruce Payne, program administrator for Campus Education Week, this year’s theme highlights the benefits of coming together to learn truth, increase in wisdom and knowledge and share the various gifts we possess. He said it serves as an invitation to seek inspiration and personal growth so others in turn can be edified by the things learned.
“The theme is taken from Doctrine and Covenants 88:122, and was used as the theme for the University Conference to begin the past school year,” Payne said. “The theme serves as an invitation to seek inspiration and personal growth so that others can in turn be edified by the things [they] learn.”
Robyn Brimhall, chief sonographer at Valley OB/GYN in Provo, said Education Week has been an integral part of her life.
“It just keeps me grounded for the rest of the year,” Brimhall said.
She has attended Education Week for several years and said it gives her a boost to tackle the coming year.

GOOD NEWS!: BYU Education Week Is Over
This week was delightful. My last class (on Lewis--specifically the Chronicles of Narnia) was at 7:00 on Friday night and I figured most people would have gone home, but there was a full house. The delightful thing is that a very kind lady came up afterward and presented me with a bottle of Gingerbeer--something one of the characters in the Chronicles, Polly Plummer, drank as she hid in the attic and wrote stories.
During the 2010 Education Week I attended your classes, “The Miracles of Jesus”. I enjoyed listening to you so much that on Thursday I attended another of your classes. At this class you were giving “Truth Tools.” As you spoke, your words “hit home.” I realized that this subject could be very beneficial to me and I was sad I had not heard the first two classes. I took careful notes and tried to grasp the concepts. My year and life were improved because of what I learned in your class. Thank you so much for the time you spend teaching. I was thrilled to see you have a blog and have enjoyed reading your past posts. This year I was able to hear the first two classes in “Come What May and Love It.
