BYU-Idaho is getting a new president.
"Trip" Meredith III, 52, a general authority seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will replace President Henry J. Eyring, 59, on Aug. 1.
"You're going to love them," Elder Christofferson told thousands of students gathered in the BYU-Idaho Center.Elder Eyring, who is an area seventy, will return to Provo and BYU's Marriott School of Business, where he previously served as director of the MBA program, Elder Christofferson said. He has been asked to develop a Christ-centered leadership curriculum and teach graduate and undergraduate students, Elder Christofferson said.
"Following the announcement of his presidency, President Eyring said that he would stand on the shoulders of giants who preceded him," Elder Meredith said. "He is now one of those giants of this great university and it is a blessing and privilege to stand on his shoulders." Elder Meredith served as an area seventy for the church in his native Tennessee and in Hong Kong, where he was stationed with his wife, Jennifer Edgin Meredith, and six children for a work assignment.Elder Meredith was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on July 22, 1970, to Alvin Frazier Meredith Jr. and Mary Smartt Meredith. He married Jennifer Denise Edgin on June 6, 1998, in the Salt Lake Temple. They have six children.
However, as a senior, he won the group's male athlete of the year award, only to have the state organization reject it again. A representative came to the school to inform him and explained 10 points of doctrine he felt justified the decision to disqualify Elder Meredith.
