Theme-based Communities

We are excited to welcome you and pleased to be able to share our emerging plans for your residential experience. As we launch the Impact & Prosperity Epicenter, we are offering our three initial theme-based communities. Theme-based communities are optional for applicants who have already been invited to live at the Epicenter and provide an opportunity for residents with similar interests to meet and connect with each other. Over time we will be expanding theme-based options as the residential experience at the Epicenter evolves.

Impact Capital Community
The Impact Capital Community invites students to live among peers interested to learn methods that utilize capital to create lasting impact. Students engaged in this community will have an opportunity to explore topics such as venture capital investing in companies that create social or environmental value, outcomes-based financing, and other creative financial structures that create social value.

Health Development Community
Students passionate about engaging in approaches for elevating health are invited to be part of the Health Development Community. Students will be able to join activities centered around exploring and solving complex health issues and their solutions. This community will draw on the vast health and medical expertise of the University of Utah and its partners worldwide.

This community provides an opportunity to gather, share, learn, and celebrate each other in an inclusive, respectful setting and to join in service to others. Incorporating an interfaith-based community provides an opportunity for establishing positive relationships and mutual understanding across diverse ways of being and cherished practices. Interfaith Community residents will have opportunities to meaningfully engage and learn about different faiths as a means for educational and spiritual growth and development.
