Several years ago, UH College of Pharmacy introduced a new tradition to the annual Commencement Ceremony: welcoming back its "Golden Cougar" alumni to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their graduation from the college.

We are excited to welcome the Class of 1971 back to campus virtually, and in person, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of your graduation from the College. This year, we are offering two ways to celebrate; we welcome you to attend one or both.

The members of the Graduating Class of 1971 are invited to attend a Golden Cougars Virtual VIP Session – prior to our virtual graduation banquet – on Wednesday, May 12, 2021 from 5:00-6:00 p.m. Hear directly from Dean Pritchard and other college leaders about the state of the college and our plans for the future, catch up with classmates, and speak to faculty members.

The in-person Commencement Ceremony/Golden Cougar Walk will be held at Cullen Performance Hall on Thursday, May 13, 2021, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Due to social distancing and maximum capacity guidelines, we can only accommodate a maximum of 2 guests per Golden Cougar to attend the in-person Commencement/Golden Cougar Walk. A socially distanced luncheon will follow the graduation ceremony.

In addition, Golden Cougars have an open invitation to join us and members of the graduating class for the Graduation Awards Reception.

For more information about Golden Cougar participation, please contact Beth Borck at bkborck@uh.edu or 713-743-9927.
