The LDS Institute Men's Association and the LDS Institute Women's Association are serving final semesters before ceding to termination, in December. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced it has decided to end the programs in order to focus on participation in young single adult stakes.
Logan Institute of Religion Director Wayne Dymock said he received notice in June by the church's Board of Education, and the 20 IWA chapters and three IMA chapters were to be discontinued.
