Greetings From President Khator

Welcome to the University of Houston, where our students acquire the abilities and intellect that an increasingly global environment demands. Their success is our success, and nothing takes greater priority. As a Tier One public research institution and one of the country’s most vibrant and ethnically diverse universities, UH prepares the skilled workforce, accomplished leaders and innovative problem-solvers that are now essential for an enlightened and engaged community. Our University – Houston’s University – takes pride in its deep local roots and celebrates its transformation into a nationally competitive institution where energy, health care and the arts flourish and support our city’s reliance on those key enterprises.

We discover. We imagine. We inspire. We dare.

— Renu Khator

  • End-of-Semester Update: Graduation, Legislative News, Campus Construction

    Thank you for another productive academic year. Last weekend, 7,040 students received their UH degree in 19 ceremonies, the largest number of graduates in the history of the University. Thank you for your role, whether inside the classroom or outside, in helping these graduates achieve their dreams.

  • Two Urgent Matters

    Please allow me to bring two time-sensitive items to your attention. First, you are probably aware of many changes taking place at the federal and state levels that directly impact the financial landscape of higher education.
