Elder Clark Gilbert, a leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, emphasized the importance of faith-based colleges in combating isolation and purposelessness among young adults. He spoke at Harvard University, highlighting the need for deeper belonging amidst rising anxiety and depression on campuses. Recent studies show that nearly three in five young adults lack a clear sense of purpose, and those who worship regularly report higher happiness. Faith-focused universities, like the BYU system, are growing nationwide. Elder Gilbert shared his personal experience of how faith helped him during his grad school days and stressed the harmony between faith and reason in a diverse society. He urged everyone, especially young people, to voice their beliefs and support others in finding direction through faith.
