UNP’s guiding principal ensures that both west side communities and the University benefit from the partnerships formed. Primarily, UNP ensures that the residents, faculty, students, and community agencies involved are engaged in mutually beneficial partnerships. Moreover, each endeavor must demonstrate the University of Utah’s commitment to playing a critical role in supporting the youth growing up in west Salt Lake to reach their potential and achieve a college education. UNP is dedicated to bringing people together in shared action and mutual respect to build a community infused with a multitude of cultural experiences and perspectives that ultimately enrich and reflect the changing demographics of both Salt Lake City and the state.
