University of Utah
Changemakers at University of Utah foster friendship between refugee and non-refugee students interested in understanding the issues facing newcomers in their schools and communities. We celebrate diversity through food, music, culture, art, and religion. We recognize the contributions of newcomers. We advocate for welcoming and equal opportunities on campus and in our broader communities.
We're building our calendar of upcoming events. Check back soon or subscribe to our email list for updates.
Slam the Islamophobia
The Emerald Project is a Utah-based organization that carefully designs dialogues to engage with non-Muslims to make Salt Lake Valley a more welcoming home to Muslims. As many of our refugee friends belong to the Muslim faith, we applaud opportunities that foster understanding and were pleased to support The Emerald Project’s 3rd annual “Slam the Islamophobia” event on February 15th.
Expanding University Involvement
University campuses are some of the most vibrant centers for bridging learning with activism. Learn how some community partner campus chapters are getting involved in support of refugees.
Internship Program: Shared Experiences & Personal Growth
In an era where technology is so prominent and information is available to us at the simple click of a button, sharing experiences has never been so easy, yet it has left meaningful connections to sometimes be difficult. We are sometimes disillusioned into imagining that we can progress in our personal and professional lives best on our own, but I have found that is anything but true.
