Deis’ new role will lead outreach and engagement of employers to increase their participation with all UCS events including industry career fairs such as STEM, energy, liberal arts and health, as well as collaborate to bring more career events to UH at Sugar Land.

“UCS has advanced career services at UH and Caitlin has been an integral part of that success,” said Monica Thompson, executive director of University Career Services. “Her strengths and talents have contributed to the exemplary work that was necessary to enhance services for students, employers and alumni, and it has been wonderful to watch Caitlin grow and incorporate her ideas to improve programs for STEM students and help us brand UCS over the last four years.”
