Like every other department and office on campus at BYU-Idaho, the University Store is focused on helping students. Thanks to the coordination between BYU-Idaho faculty and administrators, BYU-Idaho has some of the best textbook adoption rates in the country. Because faculty submit their class textbook requests to the University Store early, it allows the store to order before other universities, locking in lower prices. This in turn allows the store to offer the most affordable book prices for students.

On March 12, 2020, BYU-Idaho issued an Official Notice canceling all face-to-face classes, with classes to be resumed remotely a week later because of COVID-19. Since then, and amidst a pandemic, the university has continued to adapt to current circumstances to carry out its mission of building disciples of Jesus Christ.

Just as we individually strive to improve ourselves over time, the BYU-Idaho aims to better accomplish its mission “to develop disciples of Jesus Christ who are leaders in their homes, the Church, and their communities.” April 2021 will mark the third time the university has completed an accreditation cycle since it was announced as a four-year institution in 2000. BYU-Idaho is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). The process is designed to help BYU-Idaho fulfill its mission.

BYU-Idaho’s Strategic Enrollment Management team, which includes statisticians and data strategists in the office of Institutional Planning, recently met with President’s Council to discuss how to better accomplish the purposes of “Core Theme 3: Reach—Serve as many students as possible within resource constraints.” This group also addressed one of the university’s correlated strategic priorities to “manage enrollments while considering Church-demographic share and student behaviors, strengthen year-round school, and develop a concurrent enrollment program.”

BYU-Idaho is fulfilling its mission of developing disciples of Christ by using a strategic plan to train faculty to become strong disciple leaders. As teachers continue developing themselves as devoted followers of Christ, experiences in the classroom will help BYU-Idaho students follow those examples as they become disciple leaders themselves.
