Why Stay Involved?
You Boost UH’s Profile
Several university ranking organizations factor alumni involvement into their formulas. As a member, you help UH rise in national rankings, which also makes your degree more valuable.
You Get Great Benefits
Being a member comes with plenty of perks, including savings! UHAAF has partnered with businesses such as TDECU, Liberty Mutual, Mercer, Bank of America, and many others that offer special rates or discounts on products or services.
You Honor Fellow Alumni
Alumni accomplishments reflect brightly on the University. The UH Alumni Association is dedicated to recognizing outstanding individuals through our awards program, our alumni magazine and our up-to-date, redesigned website.
You Make Things Happen In Austin
That’s right; UH grads make over 35 percent of the current Texas Legislature in Austin. With that kind of backing, there is no telling what UH alumni can do when they harness the momentum of our great University. Tier One, growing the student body, increased funding and a rightful seat at the table are all part of the equation with your support as an active member.
You Jump-Start Your Career
Through our partnership with the University’s Career Center, the UH Alumni Association provides alumni with personalized career assistance. Whether you have recently graduated or have graduated in years past, an Alumni Counselor can provide career coaching for you.
You Support Student Success
Involved alumni remember the challenges and triumphs of their student years, and they are ready to give to the next generation. The UH Alumni Association’s student programs prepare our students to be citizens of the world. To help top-quality students attend UH, the UH Alumni Association Scholarship program also provides $180,000 in scholarships each year to deserving incoming and current students.
You Stay Connected
Involved members stay connected to their Alma Mater and to their old friends. They remain part of the University through award-winning educational programs, communications and special events. Each year, the UH Alumni Association sponsors the networking activities that bring you back to campus to reconnect with faculty and fellow cougars: Homecoming, poker tournaments, reunions, tailgates, golf tournaments and more!
You Foster University Pride
A strong UHAA is proof the UH is more than just four years of classes: it is the beginning of a lifetime of pride and passion. Being an involved member shows your belief in our outstanding University.
