SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM UHAAF PRESIDENT ON HURRICANE HARVEY

In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, I hope you and your families are faring well. Over the last few days I have seen the “Cougar network” reaching out to each other, lending a helping hand to others and problem-solving our way through this storm. I personally know of one UH Alum who has organized a group of UH Alumni, and they are going into the Meyerland neighborhood to help people clean out their homes, including those connected to our own UH family.

Once a Coog, Always a Coog

A part of you

Some things are a part of you forever. Those who embark on an educational journey with the University of Houston find a place they can call their own — not just for four years, but for the rest of their lives. Our future growth depends on the success of our past, and we need alumni like you to continue our strong legacy.

Since 1940, the University of Houston Alumni Association has served and supported the University of Houston, more than 255,000 alumni, loyal friends, and the community the University calls home.
