In a newly renovated Marriott Center on the Brigham Young University campus, more than 2,000 graduates and their supporters gathered for commencement exercises on Thursday afternoon.

Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gave the keynote address, and was joined by President Russell M. Nelson, also of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and BYU President Kevin J Worthen.

In one of his first speeches since being named the President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Nelson told graduates in his brief remarks to “focus on becoming the person the Lord needs you to be.”
