As school president, Randall is enthused to strengthen relationships between the University of Utah and the school’s vigorous Latter-day Saint community.

“I would hope that we would mutually reinforce each other’s success,” he said. “We want [Latter-day Saints] to feel comfortable, included and welcomed here, as we do for all of the different groups. … That may sound idealistic, but isn’t that why universities exist? We get to put out ideals and try to move towards them.”
