The Arrington Chair of Mormon History and Culture

The establishment in 2007 of the Arrington Chair at USU was one prominent symbol of a new era for the study of the Mormon faith in secular higher education. It was part of the new religious studies program at the university, the first program in Utah enabling students to major in religion. Since the establishment of the Arrington Chair, Richard Bushman was inaugurated as the Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies at Claremont Graduate University of Religion,^[5] which was followed by the 2012 creation of the Richard Lyman Bushman chair of Mormon Studies at University of Virginia.^[6]
