Brigham Young University–Hawaii began as a vision. BYU–Hawaii was established to produce leaders committed to building the kingdom of God and establishing peace internationally. Since 1955, BYU–Hawaii has held true to this mission and vision by ensuring that all students have been educated spiritually, culturally, and academically. Graduates are not only employment-ready but are men and women of integrity and character. They provide leadership in their families, in business, in their communities, and in building the kingdom of God, fulfilling the prophecy of David O. McKay, who proclaimed that this school would produce “leaders—not only on this island but everywhere. All the world is hungering for them.”
