Students attending the Meet and Greet Social for President and Sister Alvin F. Meredith III were asked the question: What were your first impressions of President Meredith?
“He seems like a really authentic person,” said Spencer John, a student studying biomedical science. “He just seems really genuine and … even though I’ve never met him, he seems like somebody that would care a lot about me.”
Many students at BYU-Idaho voiced that President Meredith carries happiness with him. Other attributes that students notice include his spirituality.
” … He just felt like he talked about how he’d be learning along with everyone else,” said Katelyn Wardell, a communication major, “And I just really enjoyed how it felt, like we were all going to be learning together. He just felt very, very relatable and friendly.”
