Nearly two years after his death, the powerful influence of President Gordon B. Hinckley continues to reverberate on the BYU campus.

In a 1995 devotional at the Marriott Center in Provo, President Hinckley endorsed and advocated the concept of volunteer tutoring.

"Take a little time now and again to reach out to help others," President Hinckley told the students. "You who are extremely able, you who learn with comparative ease, reach down to those who have greater difficulty in mastering academic material that is relatively easy for you. In so doing you will bless your own life as you bless the lives of those you help.

"A little tutoring can do wonders for someone who does not quite comprehend. It will do wonders for you as you give of yourself and your knowledge to bless another."

Today, BYU's volunteer-based Tutoring Services prominently features those very words from President Hinckley on its Web site in an effort to help persuade students to volunteer.
