In celebration of the Christmas season, Brigham Young University-Idaho’s 2019 performance of “A BYU-Idaho Christmas” will be broadcast across the state on Idaho Public Television (IdahoPTV).

Brigham Young University-Idaho University Relations and the College of Performing & Visual Arts are pleased to present “Let the Light In,” a “best of” collection from past Christmas performances for you to enjoy in your home. This 2020 version of A BYU-Idaho Christmas will be available to watch online Monday, December 14, 2020 through Saturday, January 2, 2021.

We are pleased to announce that Brigham Young University-Idaho will broadcast an online commencement service to celebrate and recognize our Fall Semester 2020 graduates. Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will address the 2,655 graduates in an online commencement ceremony on Wednesday, December 16, 2020. The event will begin at 7:00 p.m. MST at www.byui.edu/live/video.

In an effort to provide better accessibility and direction for students, employees, and visitors on campus, the I.T. Department has designed a new interactive digital map for the public on the BYU-Idaho website. The new feature uses the current location from your mobile device to find the fastest route around campus to get where you want to go. The same feature is accessible on the desktop version.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted employment opportunities across the globe, the need to minimize the spread has continued to employ students on campus. This fall, BYU-Idaho has hired 958 new students employees.

Campus signage is getting a makeover. The gray and white building signs that have guided students across campus for the past decade will be replaced.

BYU-Idaho continues to create educated scholars and future professionals during these uncertain times by developing five different course types.

The worldwide pandemic has created chaos and opportunities. One opportunity was for the BYU-Idaho Theatre Department to produce a radio drama.

Hart Building

When the BYU-Idaho campus closed this spring, many construction projects were briefly put on pause. However, the worldwide pandemic only confirmed to the BYU-Idaho Health Services team that they made the right decision—well ahead of time—to plan for a remodel

We’re in this together. Wash your hands frequently. Stay six feet apart. As BYU-Idaho headed into a new, unique semester, instructive messaging campaigns were designed. The campaigns explain to students and employees what to expect and how to follow health guidelines to stay safe and enjoy the semester.

Before 2020, most of the BYU-Idaho community had probably never even heard of Eastern Idaho Public Health (EIPH), but BYU-Idaho has worked with the state health district for years. In fulfilling his role as BYU-Idaho’s Safety Officer, Eric Harmston has built the university’s relationship with EIPH.

On the first Tuesday of every semester, thousands of students typically gather in the BYU-Idaho Center to hear the university president. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic though, this fall semester, President Henry J. Eyring stood before an empty auditorium to kick off the tradition by sharing how the university would care for its students throughout these unprecedented times.

This Saturday, Oct. 24, and next Saturday, Oct. 31, you can listen to a BYU-Idaho produced radio drama. "The War of the Worlds" is the classic radio drama from Orson Welles and adapted by Howard Koch.

Members of the BYU-Idaho community (students, faculty/staff and community) are invited to submit original hymn texts for use in the sixteenth annual BYU-Idaho Hymn Festival to be held in 2021. While this event usually occurs in late February, due to COVID-19 restrictions it will be scheduled for a later date in 2021, yet to be determined.

BYU-Idaho is deeply concerned by the increase of active COVID-19 cases in our region and on campus. Students and employees are asked to carefully follow the required health restrictions established by Eastern Idaho Public Health (EIPH). We are committed to honoring civil authority. The university’s ability to keep campus open will be determined by EIPH thresholds, including active cases and hospital bed capacity.
