Program Manager I
jngrant@central.uh.edu

Hello there! My name is Jasmine Grant, and I currently serve as the Program Manager I for the Center for Student Advocacy and Community. As a Houston native, not only do I take pride in doing work that builds and strengthens the city’s community members, but I believe it is what I am called to do. I know I am operating at my highest level when I am in service to others. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at the University of Texas @ San Antonio, and naturally a Master of Arts degree in Human Service Counseling from Houston Christian University.

Before my time at the University of Houston, I worked in social services for several years at a sobriety center that serviced women navigating substance abuse and homelessness. In addition, I worked as a Rehabilitation Clinician to provide resources and support to underinsured clients under psychiatric care for their mental health diagnosis. 

Before transitioning to CSAC, I spent one year with the Office of Admissions, followed by over five years with the Department of African American Studies. Both introduced and acclimated me to the University of Houston System and campus culture.  Among several assignments, some of my primary responsibilities in my role are to anticipate and address student barriers to success, connect students to on- and off-campus resources, and assess data to help ensure our work supports CSAC’s mission, vision, and programming efforts. 

“I am constantly inspired by the spirit and resilience of UH students. With that, I am mindful that resilience is fostered by access to resources. I am excited to join this team as an experienced resource provider. I look at this opportunity as a personal call to action because of the awareness that I would not be in this position, professionally and personally, had it not been for the advocacy of others.”
