The Mission of OUTLET

"Will we as BYU-Idaho be engaged in scholarship? Absolutely yes. We must!.... Within that overarching domain of scholarship, there are two specific subsets of types of scholarly activity--one of which is research, one of which is artistic creation. I want to be very clear in emphasizing that both research and artistic creation are types of scholarly activity....Research is one type of scholarship; it is not totality of scholarship....At BYU-Idaho we emphasize both research of various types and artistic creation of various types."

President David A. Bednar

"Outlet fits, in our minds, into the overall mission of BYU-Idaho. Obviously, it's important in an academic environment to encourage student creativity and excellence; we try to do this every day, as faculty, within our classrooms. But often the work produced there has no purpose or audience beyond the immediate assignment. Outlet provides a channel for students to express their ideas and talents to an audience beyond the classroom."

Stephen George, Former Director
