The University of Utah is built on the idea of helping students harness opportunities to make their dreams come true. Founded in 1850, the University educates more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students every year. At the David Eccles School of Business, one of the most important ways that faculty help students reach their goals is by encouraging real-life experiences to expand their skillsets, network with leaders in business or community, and see their work make a difference in the world around them.
For the past three years, the David Eccles School of Business has teamed with nonprofit WHOlives and Adobe to raise awareness for the need for clean water worldwide. In the Social Impact Challenge, teams of two to three students are given a week to design an effective fundraising page for WHOlives using the online design tool Adobe Express.
