Welcome from the Division of Student Affairs

Dear University of Houston Students,

I hope this message finds you well and filled with excitement for the opportunities that the Fall 2023 semester brings. As Interim Vice Chancellor/Vice President of the Division of Student Affairs, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you.

Whether you are a returning student familiar with our campus or a new first-year student just beginning your journey here, I want you to know that your presence enriches our vibrant community. Over the past couple of weeks, as you have settled into your classes and reconnected with friends or made new ones, I trust that you are already making the most of your time here.

The start of a semester is always a special time - a time filled with anticipation, discovery, and the promise of growth. The Division of Student Affairs (DSA) along with our faculty and staff have been diligently preparing to support your educational journey, and our division is brimming with resources to help you succeed both academically and personally.

Remember, this is your time to engage, to explore, and to excel. Take advantage of all the opportunities available to you - join student organizations, attend campus events, and immerse yourself in our academic programs' richness. Your journey here is what you make of it, and I have no doubt that you will leave a lasting impact on our campus and beyond.

As the Fall 2023 semester unfolds, may you find inspiration in your studies, strength in your challenges, and joy in your experiences. Our entire community is here to support you, and I encourage you to reach out whenever you need guidance, assistance, or simply someone to talk to.

Once again, welcome back, returning students, and a heartfelt welcome to the new first-year class. I hope your semester is filled with achievement, growth, and memorable moments. Let us make Fall 2023 truly exceptional, together.

DANIEL M. MAXWELL, Ed.D.
