Let's Get Real with Stephen Jones

BYU President Shane Reese has been in his role for a year now. We had a lot of questions for him.&nbsp;
Is there anything he&rsquo;d do differently? What is BYU's "divinely established" mission? What's at stake if BYU doesn't fulfill its mission? What is the current student experience, and how can we improve it?
We discuss President Reese&rsquo;s hard time acclimating as a new student at BYU, what it&rsquo;s like to report to General Authorities, and his hopes for the future of BYU.
