The University of Utah Honors College addresses these concerns by providing a small-college feel within a large research university and providing students with opportunities to take their knowledge beyond the classroom in preparation for their careers. The Honors College offers Praxis Labs, which are year-long, project-based courses that combine theory with action and exist to engage students with the community. Books have been published, nonprofits have been created and university-wide courses have originated from these Praxis Labs.
On Wednesday, June 8 and Thursday, June 9 U Honors College Dean Sylvia Torti will be in Southern California for two alumni gathering and student recruitment events. Torti can be reached by media to discuss the value of a college degree, deeply-engaged learning experiences for undergraduates and providing students with unique, hands-on experiences through Praxis Labs, which are year-long, project-based courses at the U's Honors College.
