Ballard Labs Students Share Utah County Refugee Integration Report
Ballard Labs are student-led, faculty-mentored experiences that engage students by addressing a social problem. Over the course of a year, multidisciplinary teams of students use the social impact cycle and other Ballard Center practices to thoroughly research and design a solution to the issue.
