The Honors College at the University of Utah provides year-long six-credit Praxis labs for students dedicated to researching and coming up with solutions to issues in society. Senior Katie Houser and her classmates are currently taking the Honors Praxis lab “Gender, Health, and Human Rights.”
Although the class members could have tackled many issues, they chose one that affects students at the U on a more personal level.
“In response to the federal Title IX investigation and rising reported rates of sexual assault at the University of Utah, my Praxis class is working on a few projects this semester to address the lack of support, awareness and education for students who have experienced sexual assault,” Houser said.
