I oversee the Venture & Clemente programs. The Clemente Course is an interdisciplinary humanities course for high school students from demographics underrepresented in higher education. Taught primarily by college professors, the course is intellectually rigorous, focusing on significant multicultural works using primary documents, group discussion, writing, and group projects as the basis for learning, and is consistent with Utah's Common Core curriculum. The goal of Clemente is to encourage students to apply for and succeed in college. The Venture Course is a free, interdisciplinary humanities course offered by Utah Humanities to adults “of modest means who dare to dream.” Made possible through partnerships with Weber State University in Ogden, Westminster College in the City of South Salt Lake, and Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Venture introduces students living on low incomes to philosophy, art history, literature, American history, and critical writing/thinking.
