Pride in Participation

Despite a sluggish economy, UH also recorded another all-time high during 2011-2012:  more alumni than ever participated in giving.  We are proud to have more than 12% of our alumni as donors!  

Did you know alumni participation in giving is considered in university rankings, like those they publish in U.S. News and World Report?  Alumni giving is a proud tradition across the country, with other nationally competitive schools enjoying around 15%-18% of their alumni making an annual gift.  The 2012-2013 goal for "alumni participation" at UH is 15%.  For UH to reach 15% participation, our alumni need only to choose to make a gift.  UH alumni who give back every year, in any amount, are counted among the university's most loyal and generous - the Houston Pacesetters.
