At the end of the semester, we decided to have a group picture together that we called our family photo because we have that bond. If everyone had an opportunity to be in a class like this, I think BYU would be changed forever.

I think coming in as a freshman can be kind of scary. You don’t really know what you are doing and so it is really nice having the familiar faces to help each other succeed. … God really blessed me to be in these classes. They help students to feel they are part of a community, and they mean something. To help them find their light. It’s really nice just knowing that you are here for a reason.
Titus - BYU Student
This new class is an opportunity to get a jump start into what it’s like to be a part of the BYU community. And so, a huge aspect of it is building belonging. And so, really showing the student why they are here at BYU and why this is a unique opportunity. … I think this class helped students see the importance of connection. The assignment that had the biggest impact was to go as a group to an event on campus.
