How It All Comes Together
As alumni, faculty, staff, friends, fans, patients, providers, and supporters of the U, your passions fuel everything we do. This year, we’ve connected those passions with our mission as a university to highlight five key areas where your support makes an endless impact.
Academics
We have talented faculty and students doing critical research and training the leaders of tomorrow. Fuel the academic programs creating tomorrow’s trailblazers.
Athletics
While it’s always fun to watch them succeed on the field, court, track, and more, our student-athletes are students first. Help student-athletes get the most out of their educational experience at the U.
Community
The U provides countless programs that serve the greater Utah community and beyond. From arts and cultural experiences, to reading clinics, we reach beyond our walls to serve the people of our state. We’re more than a campus. We’re a community.
Student Success
Student success doesn’t just refer to academic success. The U provides access to vital resources to help students thrive during their time here and in the future. We are caring for the whole student.
University of Utah Health
We are proud to train excellent medical professionals and provide exceptional healthcare to our students, patients, and community. We are always striving to propel healthcare innovation and improve patient care.
Pepsi x U Giving Days
Pepsi is helping bring U Giving Days to life in a meaningful and impactful way. Through their sponsorship of the U Make a Difference event and six service projects, they are directly supporting our students and creating hands-on opportunities to engage in giving back. Their partnership ensures that students not only participate in these 48 hours of impact but also learn more about philanthropy and the power of collective generosity. We are grateful for Pepsi’s commitment to our campus community, and we look forward to sharing more details about these initiatives soon!
