The university will be serving dinner to students directly following the devotional. There will be plenty of burritos and cookies to share, so invite your friends and roommates.

It was previously announced that Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf would be our devotional speaker this Saturday. Unfortunately, Elder Uchtdorf will be unable to attend at this time. He is disappointed to miss this opportunity to share a message with you.
