The Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute and Lassonde Studios are dedicated to building the most diverse and vibrant community possible. Our success and the success of our students depend on it. We are all better when we meet new people, explore new possibilities, support each other, and work together.
To help you get the most from your experience at Lassonde and the University of Utah, we assembled the list of resources below. Use them to achieve your goals and explore the many things available to you as a student at the U.
For general information and questions about many of these topics, we encourage you to contact the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. This office directs many related efforts across campus and is a good general resource. Visit their website at diversity.utah.edu.
