Honored Founder

Spencer W. Kimball

Every year during Homecoming we honor a founder of BYU. This year we are honoring Spencer W. Kimball, the12th president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

As part of this honor, Spencer W. Kimball is the focus of this year's Brimhall Essay Contest. Students submit essays that incorporate the connection between Carl F. Eyring, the Homecoming theme "Light the Way Forward," and their personal experiences. These essays and the founder will be honored at Homecoming Opening Ceremony on October 14th.
