Dear Readers, Welcome to the May issue of CLASS, the college's monthly update of news and events. I take this opportunity to extend my sincere congratulations to all of the students who will receive degrees in the liberal arts and social sciences at commencement ceremonies in Hofheinz Pavilion on May 13. All of us in CLASS are delighted by the accomplishments of these students whom we have advised, taught, and mentored to this proud moment. We wish them the very best as they begin a new phase in their lives. Our graduates this year will leave us with particularly strong feelings of pride both in their personal accomplishments and in the University that they will henceforth call alma mater. This issue of CLASS news highlights many of the personal accomplishments that make graduates of this class special. As you read their stories, you will come to appreciate our extraordinary pride as administrators and faculty in the students who make up the Class of 2011. The special pride that these students feel for the University of Houston stems not only from the ways in which it has transformed them but also the ways in which it has changed itself during their tenure here. They will be the first class of Cougars to graduate from a Carnegie-designated Tier One public research university—an institutional recognition for their university that can be claimed in Texas only by students at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University and Rice University. This is also the first class to graduate from a UH recognized by the Princeton Review as one of the best undergraduate universities in the country. In essence, member of this class will always be able look back on their time here as one of incredible personal and institutional transformation.
