Utah Lake-UVU Undergraduate Service Learning Projects
Published by:
In September 2020, UVU professors Dr. Eddy Cadet, Dr. Weihong Wang, Dr. Jon Westover, Dr. Hilary Hungerford, and Dr. Maria Blevins were awarded a $350,000 grant by the National Science Foundation for a special 3-year project with Utah Lake, titled “Undergraduate Preparation through Multidisciplinary Service-Learning at Utah Lake.” This grant includes class projects in each of the professors’ courses during the academic year, as well as projects from an interdisciplinary team of summer research assistants each year. During the NSF service project, students are involved with the community while gaining professional skills, increasing access to professional networks, and deepening students’ knowledge of career pathways.
The student teams from multiple interdisciplinary courses taught by these professors were selected to work on the Utah Lake Project, and their projects are included in this collection.
More student projects will be added in the coming years as they are completed.
