Complete with a rock climbing wall, hot dogs, and a cotton candy machine, BYU-Pathway Worldwide employees and their families came together to enjoy each other’s company on May 26, 2017, for a BYU-Pathway employee summer picnic.

BYU-Pathway holds family activities periodically throughout the year to develop company and family unity. “I had already known what a remarkable group of people I work with,” said BYU-Pathway president, Clark Gilbert, “but seeing so many families who by extension also support our PathwayConnect Ƶ was inspiring.”

“This picnic provided one last opportunity to gather together before some families began to head to Utah,” said BYU-Pathway Managing Director, J.D. Griffith. “It has been humbling to see the employees and their families submit their lives to the cause of BYU-Pathway Worldwide.”

The BYU-Pathway Pioneers

The BYU-Pathway president, area operations administration, curriculum, and systems teams will be relocating to BYU-Pathway’s new headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, this summer. All other departments of BYU-Pathway will remain in Rexburg, Idaho, on the BYU-Idaho campus until summer 2018.

“As I have watched the pioneers of this first group leave the comfort and familiarity of Rexburg, I have been inspired by their willingness to sacrifice for the benefit of so many Church members throughout the world,” said BYU-Pathway graphics specialist, Angie Steggell.

Whether families are moving this summer or the next, they do so with a sense of knowing what BYU-Pathway is all about: personal growth and strengthened families.
