Cougar First Impressions (CFI) is an event sponsored by UH Staff Council that offers students a chance to receive campus maps, directions to class, and bottled water from UH staff members stationed across campus during the first two days of the Fall semester. CFI has been made possible by generous contributions without utilizing any student fees since 1998.
This year, we are shifting to a virtual platform due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but our goals remain the same.
Mission
