I think that it has been the sense from the very beginning, perhaps with Karl G. Maeser’s European roots, that a truly educated person is one who has awareness not only of their immediate environment but of the world. And the university has always worked very hard to make sure that our students would have an opportunity to see the world broadly.” —President Cecil Samuelson |
