Goal 4: Nationally Relevant Athletics - University of Houston
Skip to main content

Build a Competitive Athletics Program

Student-athletes learn the values of teamwork, discipline and perseverance — three skills that transfer into their academics and future success. Their talent, in and out of the game, is a source of pride to the University and the city. Building a nationally competitive athletics program will elevate UH’s reputation and brand.

Good things happen when we up our game. When we push our physical and mental limits, we soar.

So, let’s push. Let’s fly.

Let our rallying cry be heard on the national stage: ‘Whose house? Coogs House!’
