Signature Events

#IAmUH Campaign

We love UH and each Coog in our community. The #IAMUH campaign is a community-building initiative that gives faculty, staff, students, and alums an opportunity to celebrate their association with the University. All cougars are encouraged to share their story, strengths, and personal attributes. When we see the collective stories together, we expand our understanding of what it means to be a cougar, develop sense of appreciation for others, and hopefully a sense of belonging on campus will be enhanced.​

Share your #IAMUH story to:​

  • Make connections​
  • Learn about unique identities ​
  • Create a sense of community through storytelling.
