REFUGES Program
Refugees Exploring the Foundations of UnderGraduate Education in Science (REFUGES) is an after school/summer program which collaborates with community organizations, schools, and parents to support underrepresented 7th-12th grade students with their education. Students who attend the program are provided valuable resources and support - such as one-on-one tutoring and mentoring, college and career readiness resources, financial aid workshops, hands-on STEAM curriculum, and field trips.
There is no REFUGES programming available for the 2024-2025 academic year or the 2025 summer.
We are currently navigating a transition period which will likely see the program move to an at-school format. We will be sharing any future news and updates on this page!
In the meantime, if you are interested in learning more about the afterschool work we are currently doing at the Salt Lake Center for Science Education or our research experience for teachers, please visit hisparc.utah.edu.
