The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Renames LDS Business College To Ensign College

SALT LAKE CITY-Since taking the helm of the former LDS Business College in 2017, President Bruce C. Kusch and his administrators have adroitly led the school through peaks and valleys.

As of this past Tuesday, the 134-year-old college officially changed its name to Ensign College.

Elder Paul V. Johnson, a General Authority Seventy and Commissioner of the Church Educational System, announced the changes to the two-year school February 25 at a campus devotional for students and faculty in the Assembly Hall at  Temple Square in Salt Lake City.

During this devotional, President Kusch explained the significance of the name change, saying the Scriptures use “ensign” as representative of a new and everlasting covenant, a symbol of peace, a guide to the gathering of Israel and a light as a standard to the nations.”

President Kusch said that, moving forward, the college’s plan is to produce spiritually well-grounded and professionally prepared disciples of Christ.
