Dear Cougar Community,

These have been unsettling times, with myriad disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. So I’m especially pleased to be able to share some entertaining and informative material in the spring edition of the University of Houston Magazine, which is now online.

And you can choose how you’d like to read it.

If you prefer to view the magazine in a traditional print presentation, click here. If you’d rather see a version specifically created for the web, please click here.

You’ll be treated to a colorful profile of Mariachi Pumas, the exciting student musical group that’s hitting high notes in Hispanic heritage, a quick tour of the amazing discoveries coming out of UH’s innovative labs, an appetizing roundup of what’s cooking on campus, the latest look at the new medical school and a visit with Grammy-grabbing alum Lizzo. And much more.

All in all, the spring magazine is an inspiring reminder of what the campus was like not that very long ago … and, I like to think, a projection of what our campus will be like once again. I hope you share my appreciation of the magazine … and our optimism for the future.

With regards,
