HAPPY END-OF-SEMESTER!

Hi, Friends,

Our campus has been bustling with students (and faculty!) gearing up for finals. Hard to believe that our semester is coming to a close. We are so proud of our students and the hard work that they’ve done as they move toward commencement.

This has been a very special semester for us as we opened the doors to our newest facility—the UH College of Technology Building. The College’s presence has attracted technology events and speakers, and has moved UH at Sugar Land to the forefront of our regional technology industry. We will build on this growing reputation.

…And we hope to build on the program offerings at UH at Sugar Land to serve the large population of students in our region who want to be Cougars. Stay tuned!

I hope the coming Thanksgiving holiday is filled with friends and family. Enjoy the time together.

See you in the New Year! 

UH at Sugar Land is joining the Ismaili Jamatkhana & Center in the annual ABC 13 Share Your Holiday Food Drive. Last year more than 51,000 pounds of food was collected and donated to Fort Bend pantries. Share your blessings with your neighbors this holiday season! Drop your non-perishable food donations in the white drop off bins located in the AMG Rotunda & Brazos Hall near the elevators. Last day to donate is December 5.
