Power of Place
Power of Place is a foundational pillar of Westminster University's educational mission.
It's not just about what you study — it's where you study.
Our campus gives students the unique opportunity to live and learn in a place that allows for exploring questions and pursuing experiences that can't be replicated in a classroom. This is the power of Westminster's place.
A Commitment to Power of Place
Westminster’s commitment to Power of Place learning involves leveraging our unique geographic location to enhance learning opportunities and community engagement. We actively integrate outdoor education, experiential learning, and community partnerships that enrich academic programs and provide students with real-world experiences.
From outdoor adventures that promote environmental stewardship to collaborations with local organizations, Westminster connects the classroom with the world around us, ensuring that students graduate with a deep understanding of their role in the world.
Utah’s Cultural Landscapes
Westminster recognizes that the Power of Place extends beyond the physical campus. It encompasses the diverse cultural urban landscapes of downtown Salt Lake City, innovative tech growth in Silicon Slopes, and beyond. By embracing this diversity, we create an inclusive environment that celebrates different perspectives and backgrounds, fostering a sense of belonging among our students.
At Westminster, we are dedicated to building a vibrant community where every individual can thrive, explore, and contribute to the richness of our shared experience.
