Community Engaged Teaching

During his time at the University of Denver, Henry Xu served as a CCESL Community-Engaged Fellow and partnered with Westminster High School to mentor students interested in STEM and pre-health careers. As part of CCESL’s DU Grand Challenge Program, Henry supported students’ academic growth and college preparation by providing information on scholarships, federal aid, and other resources. He also guided mentees through practical activities like goal setting, resume building, and accessing mental health support, helping them build essential skills for their future success.
