Global/Intercultural understanding should be considered and explored from a variety of perspectives. The requirement will foster greater understanding of, interaction with, and appreciation for, cultures that reflect the diversity present within the local and campus communities, up to the larger state and global context. Courses satisfying the requirement will articulate and examine the unique perspectives, experiences and concerns of individuals and groups representing cultures other than one’s own. Such understanding and appreciation will both enhance the educational experience of students and develop skills that allow them to participate as inclusive, active, informed, and respectful citizens. https://www.~~uvubrc~~uvu.~~com~~edu/global/gi-initiative/~~utah~~index.html Other Resources</~~business~~span> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Crativity Innovation Change MGMT Tech 3010 -~~accelerator~~Armen Ilikchyan</]span>

Enactus Club

Enactus is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring students to improve the world through entrepreneurial action.  We provide a platform for teams of outstanding university students to create community development projects that put people’s own ingenuity and talents at the center of improving their livelihoods. Guided by educators and supported by business leaders, our students take the kind of entrepreneurial approach that empowers people to be a part of their own success. Our work transforms both the lives of the people we serve, and in turn, the lives of our students as they develop into more effective, values-driven leaders.

'''Office of Engaged Learning (OEL)''' The OEL promotes and supports the five pillars of academic engagement at UVU. OEL develops institutional strategies for engagement, facilitates innovative practices, and oversees a variety of initiatives and programs including Grants for Engaged Learning (GEL), Global Spotlight, High Impact Community Projects, and the DC Experience as a few examples. “Engaged” at UVU involves active and collaborative learning, which provides students the opportunity to connect their academic experience with their professional and civic lives. OEL also coordinates the efforts of the Capitol Reef Field Station, Sponsored Programs and Institutional Review Board. Each one plays a vital role in the advancement of engaged opportunities for faculty, students, staff, and community partners. https://www.uvu.edu/engagedlearning/ '''Center for Social Impact''' The Center for Social Impact develops active citizens who make social impact in our communities. We do so through curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular student experiences in diverse pathways of social impact including direct service, community-engaged learning and research, social entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility, policy and governance, community organizing and activism, and philanthropy. Our framework is founded on two nationally-recognized models. Developed in 2010 by Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service, these pathways describe a range of possibilities by which we can make a contribution to the common good. The pathways intersect and overlap, demonstrating the interdependent nature inherent in working toward the common good. There is no one single path and people move in and out of these pathways over time. https://www.uvu.edu/socialimpact/ '''Office of Student Action Learning:''' WONDER • EXPLORE • LEAD • SHARE The Office of Student Action Learning builds and facilitates engaged learning activities and expeditions for student-centered action learning.

'''Capitol Reef Field Station''' Capitol Reef Field Station, in partnership with Capitol Reef National Park, promotes and supports engaged learning, environmental ethics, and research and creative activities through the exploration of the Colorado Plateau. Beyond the paved roads, 2.5 miles past the end of the aptly named Scenic Drive, our buildings sit atop a mesa in the heart of Capitol Reef National Park. Amidst unobstructed views of postcard-perfect scenery, one can hear the calming sounds of Pleasant Creek as they loft over historic pastures. The sun rises over the last mountain range in the continental United States to be mapped, the Henry Mountains, framed by towering sandstone cliffs. To the west lies Boulder Mountain, which supported small glaciers during the last ice age. Looking up, casual stargazers and serious astronomers alike appreciate the amazing night sky, for which Capitol Reef National Park recently received a Gold-Tier International Dark Sky designation. Our incredible location provides an unparalleled opportunity for place-based learning. Only 3.5 hours from UVU and the Wasatch Front, CRFS welcomes students and faculty from institutions of higher learning who seek to experience the natural and cultural legacies of the Colorado Plateau. https://www.uvu.edu/crfs/ == Internship, co-op opportunity or business plan projects with external partners. == '''E2I Igniter Funds''' Igniter funds are designed to produce some of the strongest learning available to UVU students- project-based learning (PBL). Students that engage in PBL learn in hands-on and unique ways, which allows lessons from the classroom to become reality and move from theoretical to practical. PBL is an excellent way to prepare for a career, and working on a project through the Igniter Funds is an excellent way to experience PBL.

Internship services works with individual students to identify their passions and helps create matching internships with external organizations. Internship Services has worked with Academic Affairs to ensure that students working in internships receive credit that counts towards graduation. Due to this approach, students have the opportunity to bi-pass the traditional “go to class, do homework, get degree” mentality and instead construct an invigorating and experiential academic experience.

'''Global/Intercultural Initiative ''' The Global/Intercultural requirement underscores UVU's commitment to valuing global/intercultural opinions, backgrounds, traditions, perspectives, and experiences. The Global/Intercultural requirement contributes to student success by fostering an awareness of a variety of cultural perspectives and experiences, which is a vital element of higher education. The Global/Intercultural Initiative is a component of UVU's [https://www.uvu.edu/engagedlearning/ Office of Engaged Learning]. Global/Intercultural understanding should be considered and explored from a variety of perspectives. The requirement will foster greater understanding of, interaction with, and appreciation for, cultures that reflect the diversity present within the local and campus communities, up to the larger state and global context. Courses satisfying the requirement will articulate and examine the unique perspectives, experiences and concerns of individuals and groups representing cultures other than one’s own. Such understanding and appreciation will both enhance the educational experience of students and develop skills that allow them to participate as inclusive, active, informed, and respectful citizens. https://www.uvu.edu/global/gi-initiative/index.html '''CREATIVE LEARNING STUDIO ''' STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, but STEM is about much more than just learning these subjects. STEM represents ways of thinking about learning and problems that benefit all children, even if they don’t want to grow up to be scientists. However, we also believe that every child deserves the opportunity to pursue education and a career in STEM fields, and this is not currently a reality. This is why we are so passionate about sharing STEM and integrative practices with all teachers and students. Yes, STEM careers are in high demand and people with STEM careers make more money than those in many other fields, but to us it’s all about ensuring that every child—no matter where they live, how much money they have, how much education their parents have, the color of their skin, or the languages they speak—gets to experience STEM in a way that is meaningful and motivating.  We also believe that STEM should not replace subjects such as language arts, social studies, or the visual and performing arts. Rather, there is tremendous potential to integrate STEM with these subjects using transformative pedagogies to help students develop those powerful STEM thinking skills while seeing how STEM can allow them to better express themselves, understand the past, and contribute to the world. https://www.uvu.edu/education/creative-learning/index.html =~~TechX~~PURSUE=
