Don’t Forget! HAO to Become UHAA

You’ve gotten used to our three-letter “HAO” acronym, but come January 1, 2009, HAO will become UHAA—The University of Houston Alumni Association. A new logo will accompany the name change.

Pictured above, the new logo features a rendering of the Ezekiel W. Cullen Building. As one of the oldest buildings on campus, and certainly the most recognizable thanks to its stately art-deco façade and role in university administration, E. Cullen, as it’s commonly referred to, represents the history and tradition that the alumni association and the University of Houston have built together.
