YOU ASKED FOR IT; U DRIVE ELECTRIC RETURNS[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″]
[/bs_col]
[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]The University of Utah and Salt Lake City are co-sponsoring the community electric vehicle purchase program. The U Drive Electric program includes discounts on multiple makes and models of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. This is the second round of U Drive Electric, but the new program extends the offer beyond the U community to include Salt Lake City community members. The program will kick-off during National Drive Electric Week on Sept. 12, 2016, and will run through Oct. 31, 2016.
This year, the program is expanding to include more versatile options, with several additional dealers participating as well as the opportunity to purchase used vehicles.
This joint program is an effort to implement creative solutions to lessen environmental impacts by the university and Salt Lake City and to improve conditions for the community and future generations. With almost 50 percent of Utah’s urban air pollution coming from tailpipe emissions, electric vehicles represent an important tool for improving air quality along the Wasatch Front.
To learn more about the program, there will be a community workshop on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 6-7 p.m. at the J. Willard Marriott Library in the Gould Auditorium.
More information on this and future workshops is available at udriveelectric.org. [/bs_col][/bs_row]

[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]The U’s Second Language Teaching & Research Center has been charged by the Utah State Board of Education to lead the program and is working closely with all Utah institutions of higher education to develop and deliver 3000-level university courses to high school students. This program will allow them to graduate from high school with up to nine upper division credits and further facilitate their development of advanced language proficiency.
The department of World Languages and Cultures is also involved in the initiative and developed the course, SPAN 3116, that is being taught at Taylorsville High School by Chantal Esquivias, associate instructor for the department.
