HAPPIEST- Mentored Summer Research Program

Air pollution negatively affects the majority of the US population. It causes respiratory illnesses, neurological and mental health problems, and reproductive ailments. Air pollution is particularly acute in Utah’s Salt Lake Valley, where the University of Utah is located.

Scientists from racial/ethnic minority backgrounds are underrepresented among faculty at US universities. This program trains students from underrepresented backgrounds in air pollution-related health research through a faculty-mentored summer research program called Health, Air Pollution, and Population Initiative in Education and Science Training (HAPPIEST).

The HAPPIEST Program is recruiting students now! Hurry and apply- applications are due on January 31!

Amnesty International: Write for Rights

Join the Tanner Center for Human Rights at the University for Write for Rights!

Write for Rights is Amnesty International’s largest annual human rights campaign. The best thing about Write for Rights is that it works! Each year, we write letters to support people and help end other abuses, such as individuals who are wrongfully imprisoned for the peaceful expression of their beliefs or identity—people we call prisoners of conscience.
Remember, even if you only have time to write one letter, it counts. You are joining a movement of people around the world using the power of collective action—millions of us, each doing a small part—to help people. Because of us, prison doors will open, families will be reunited, justice will be achieved, and human rights activists will be safe and supported in continuing their important work to change the world.
