Alternative Fall Break

Rio Mesa Center
University of Utah's Multi-Disciplinary Research Station

October 10-14, 2011

Spend 5 days engaged in environmental service work in breathtakingly beautiful southeastern Utah at the University of Utah’s Rio Mesa Center. Imagine an isolated ancient floodplain on the Colorado Plateau with a wild river, surrounded by the towering cliffs of red-rock canyon country. This is the Rio Mesa Center, a multi-disciplinary, modern outdoor laboratory for research and education, a place where disciplines as diverse as science, architecture, engineering and art come together to question our notion of what it means to live on the Colorado Plateau; a place where we can communally imagine and act on new narratives for a sustainable future.

$175 per participant
