A Broader View
Winter Semester 2005 our college successfully launched "Succeeding Together," a program designed to invite our students to willingly help each other to learn -- a tutoring program. Gratefully, and amazingly, large numbers of students signed up to be tutors. Now, we are taking this Zion idea one step further, of which tutoring will be one of the facets. It is called "Empowering Others." Rather than limiting efforts of students to lift and enable classmates through tutoring alone, we are inviting everyone to carry this Zion idea into every aspect of their learning experience while they are at BYU.
A Zion Way
For years, competitive learning in universities has been the norm, but there is a better and higher way for students to learn. It is the idea of learning together: students willingly share their knowledge, lift each other and together gain more light and understanding than they could alone. This concept can develop a community of learners bonded by love and genuine interest in the success of their classmates. It can create a Zion atmosphere, for Zion is a noncompetitive society. This is the point.
The Bottom Line
The purpose of this effort is to facilitate a change of mind and a change of heart; to create a noncompetitive university society and environment where students are teaching each other and genuinely caring about the success of those around them. In this way all can rise even higher academically and humanly. Dr. Daniel Fairbanks, Dean of Undergraduate Education, said, "Not only will this help the students while they are here, it will have a great impact on the rest of their lives. I think it is wonderful." We invite you to take this upward reach, to truly care about the welfare of those around you and take the time to make a difference.

Life Sciences Student Council
Mission Statement
The mission of the Life Sciences Student Council is to help form a Zion society in the College by creating an atmosphere of unity and charity, thus assisting students "in their quest for perfection and eternal life."
The purpose of the Life Sciences Student Council
- To establish a more organized means of communication and participation between the students, faculty and college administration;
- To give students within the college the opportunity to develop valuable leadership skills and an increased commitment to serve their fellow students;
- With these leadership skills help to discover and solve problems in the college that hinder the full growth of the students;
- Assist in creating a Zion atmosphere in the college.
Most important, the goals and objectives of the Life Sciences Student Council contribute to the unique mission of BYU by encouraging the students of the College to develop a "genuine concern for [their fellow students and] the welfare of [their] neighbor."
