Urban Institute for Teacher Education

In Fall 2024, the University of Utah’s Teach For Utah/Noyce program met in Park City for the 2nd Annual TFU/Noyce Fall Retreat. In collaboration with Weber State University’s Noyce Scholars program, the retreat gave students an opportunity to network with fellow participants, learn about the program, the opportunities it provides to students and advantages that students participating in the program receive.

University of Utah Teach for Utah/Noyce scholars meet monthly during the academic year to collaborate and discuss program updates and information important for student success.
