BYU launched 6,812 new graduates into the world with charges to make wise choices, preserve that ability for others and create an inclusive Zion.
More than 19,000 people arrived under bright blue skies to pack the Marriott Center for the annual commencement exercises. When outgoing BYU President Kevin Worthen greeted them with a message about exclamation points, they punctuated his tenure with a thunderous, minute-long standing ovation.
Graduate Kara Hunter, 21, of Boise, Idaho, embraces her parents, Stephanie and Ryan Hunter, after Brigham Young University’s commencement at the Marriott Center in Provo on Thursday. "My plea to you today is that in the years ahead you will work hard to preserve and wisely exercise your own moral agency, and work equally hard to preserve and provide that same blessing of moral agency to others. Let us all be agents rather than objects," he said.
"The desire to enthusiastically express joy and admiration for the accomplishment of others is a divine trait which we should all cultivate. That will help us build bridges of understanding and avoid contention and be peacemakers as President Nelson has encouraged all of us to do," referring to a recent General Conference address given by the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
