@tw_killian @BYUCS See you soon 👏

📣 There's never a "best" time to share important updates, especially after sitting on this for so long... I'm joining the faculty @BYU + @BYUCS this Summer as an Assistant Professor in preparation for the upcoming school year. Lots of excitement and a fair bit of nerves. 🧵

"In a world filled with artificial light, never forget, you carry divine light. It is needed, and it was meant to shine at this time." - Arlene Sewell #BYUDevo

"Artificial intelligence can process information, but it cannot replace divine light. It cannot love, it cannot discern the Spirit, and it cannot guide us the way the Savior can." - Arlene Sewell #BYUDevo

"Understanding that 'to everything there is a season' has helped me remember that we don’t need to fear change or doubt the timing of our lives. Each season has a purpose, and the Lord provides light for each step." - Arlene Sewell #BYUDevo

"In my Samoan culture, being a chief is position of service. There is a Samoan Proverb: 'O le ala I le pule o le Tautua,' which means the pathway to leadership is through service." - Arlene Sewell #BYUDevo

"We live in a time of incredible growth and innovation, especially in areas like artificial intelligence. But no matter how much the world advances, one thing remains constant: the divine light of Jesus Christ." - Arlene Sewell #BYUDevo

Today’s #BYUdevo will be given by Arelene Sewell, BYU portfolio director of artificial intelligence. Before you come to the Marriott Center or tune in via @BYUtv, meet Arlene: news.byu.edu/character/coug…

We are deeply saddened at the sudden passing of Elder W. Mark Bassett, a General Authority Seventy who had been serving since April of 2016. Elder Bassett passed away on May 11, 2026, as a result of a traumatic brain injury. He was with his family in St. George, Utah, when the incident occurred.  At the time of his death, Elder Bassett was serving as the Executive Director of the Missionary Department, overseeing worldwide missionary efforts. His service in this calling coincided with a period of historic growth in missionary efforts around the world and unprecedented levels of missionaries deciding to serve. Elder Bassett will be deeply missed and always remembered for his great faith and dedicated service to the Lord Jesus Christ. During a devotional for missionaries held at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah, just days before his passing, Elder Bassett bore testimony and challenged missionaries to “Invite everyone to come—and do everything you can to help them enter this beautiful gate, which leads to eternal life." His devotion in life reflected these teachings and leaves a loving legacy for all. Our love and prayers are with his dear wife Angela, his children, and his grandchildren during this difficult time.

"As you step out of the figurative boat to leave school and enter the world, walk towards Christ. He is there with you. When you begin to feel the winds of the world, just as He has blessed you throughout your life, He will continue to help you. Keep your eye on Him and keep walking towards Him." - Brian Radford #BYUDevo

"Whether you are an engineer adhering to safety and innovation standards, an artist using your talents to uplift, or an educator shaping young minds, your work is consecrated when guided by principles that reflect your faith." - Brian Radford #BYUDevo

"As you gain knowledge and skills here at BYU, how will you use that knowledge and those skills in ways that are meaningful, honest, and responsible? How will you ensure that you improve your areas of expertise?" - Brian Radford #BYUDevo

"Joshua did not say, 'As for me and my house, we will see how things go.' He said, 'as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.' We do not have to wait until every challenge arrives before choosing where we stand." - Brian Radford #BYUDevo

Today, I hope to invite you to do two things: 1- Decide now what you will do with what you are learning and becoming while here at BYU. 2- As you go forth to serve and influence the world, keep your focus on the Lord. - Brian Radford #BYUDevo
