Abstract

Recent interactions between BYU faculty and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Paris, including the stake presidencies and the Institute, have uncovered several areas of concern for French members of the Church. Among these concerns is that of employment and education for young adult members. In line with President Bateman’s vision of Brigham Young University, in its mission “to take the full spectrum of light across the world,” I researched these concerns through administering surveys, personal research, and interviewing members in Paris (1). With the help of Rachel Newton, I was able to analyze the results of the survey and compile some very interesting findings.
