The Flag Circle is the most iconic and central place on campus. It features flags of the countries from which current students are attending. Since we have more countries than flag poles, they will rotate the flags every so often. The flags represent the diversity of students here at BYU–Hawaii, along with it's prophetic origins when President David O. McKay had a vision of a university here in Laie while attending a flag raising ceremony at a local elementary school.
