"Lean into Light"

BYU’s Homecoming theme, “Lean into Light,” embodies a profound call to action, inviting all to embrace the teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and allow His light to shine brightly through their lives. At its core, leaning into light symbolizes a deep and meaningful connection with the Savior, seeking guidance and strength from His teachings and allowing His divine influence to permeate our hearts and minds. 

To lean into light is to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, motivated by love for God and His children. As we grow in understanding of the Savior’s teachings, we find ourselves transformed, becoming beacons of His light to those around us. 

As BYU’s brand statement reads, “BYU strives to emit a unique light for the benefit of the world,” our Homecoming theme is meant to encourage our BYU community to be ambassadors of Jesus Christ, the ultimate source of light and truth. By embodying the principles of the Gospel, we not only strengthen our own faith, but also inspire those who cross our paths, inviting them to seek the same source of light and truth that has brought us peace and joy.
