  Refugees Exploring the Foundations of Undergraduate Education in Science (REFUGES)
  REFUGES is a robust STEM-focused refugee- and minority-student support program, which has two distinct
  components:

  An afterschool program for refugee and immigrant students (grades 7-12) that provides academic support,
  hands-on  science enrichment, and social services such as family counseling, health and wellness workshops,
  and recreational activities.

•   A bridge program for incoming University of Utah students from marginalized populations to adjust to college
    life, course work, and research.
