Speaker and Event Approval

Approval for Campus Speakers and Events related to Belonging

All campus speakers and events that are designed or intended to celebrate, create, discuss, or support an environment of belonging must be submitted for review by the Office of Belonging for alignment with the BYU Statement on Belonging. To build a community based on Christ-like love and understanding, belonging speakers and events should be guided by the BYU Statement of Belonging and use gospel methodology, concepts, and insights, and promote a learning environment and a community of covenant belonging that is anchored in eternal truths and the teachings of Jesus Christ and living prophets. Belonging-related events should seek to promote and create a covenant community of belonging composed of students, faculty, and staff whose 'hearts are knit together in love' (Mosiah 18:21).

Belonging-related events should be submitted at least six weeks in advance. All proposals can be submitted along with any promotional material for the appropriate review through the following link.
