Recognizing student success as the U's top priority, we have invested in making course materials and technology more accessible and developing resources to support groups with specific needs, such as first‑generation students.

College and Research Context
The College of Science and John and Marcia Price College of Engineering are highly‑ranked research‑intensive colleges with growing student populations in 21 departments and degree programs, 3 colleges/schools (College of Mines & Earth Sciences, Kahlert School of Computing, and School of Biological Sciences), and 4 centers. They prepare students for jobs across the STEM spectrum from K‑12 science and math education to research on emerging technologies. With a strong translational science and an entrepreneurial spirit, students are prepared “to face tomorrow's challenges, innovate new solutions and technologies and to improve overall quality of life.” Some featured science and engineering initiatives include the Bench‑to‑Bedside medical device competition, the Utah Frontier Observatory for Geothermal Research (FORGE) project, and first‑year ACCESS Scholars community. Additionally, the Vice President for Research created interdisciplinary research hubs and working groups with science/engineering areas to expand, including aerospace, energy, water, critical minerals, and wildfire.
