From the Desk Of...

Thank you for giving honor to our family.

I want to take this opportunity to say what a positive impact The University of Houston Magazine is having on all of us old alums. Seeing stories about the Brezina Boys brings back fond memories! We take great pride in the progress, the stories of successful research at UH, along with the quality of this magazine. It's just superb. Everyone on the staff should be congratulated. Go Coogs!

I just opened the latest University of Houston Magazine and found on the last page the tribute to Virginia Tech. Thank you. My husband, Lloyd Poe ('72), and I have a daughter at Virginia Tech. That day, she was on her way to class in the building next to the building where the shooting occurred. My daughter lost two friends. None of it makes sense—except on a personal level, and she goes through that building every day to get to her classes.

Thank you for your compassion and profound response to our tragedy.

"You chose one heck of a family to honor. The story of how their mother raised them, how UH and Coach Yeoman had faith in them as well as their accomplishments are just tremendous. As the editor of their ‘hometown newspaper,' I just wanted to write and say thank you for the great story on Mama Brezina and those five super Brezina Boys who wore Cougar red and white."

I just wanted to let you know that I read my first University of Houston Magazine last night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it— great writing, great artwork/photos—very impressive.

I just found the latest University of Houston Magazine in my inbox. I stopped everything to read it from cover to cover. It reads and looks beautiful! Congrats to everyone on a great issue. I truly appreciate the hard work it takes to put such a publication together. This was, indeed, a labor of love—not to mention lots of long hours! It works!

The University of Houston Magazine is fabulous. The beautiful cover of each issue is eye catching. It's really great to be informed of all the news and activities happening on campus. I'm very impressed and touched by the articles in this magazine. I was especially touched by "A Cougar Tribute" in support
of the Virginia Tech students. I am very proud to be a UH graduate.

I was surprised at how professional the photography and layout was. I enjoyed reading about historic UH football in anticipation for another championship season. The Brezina story was a great read. I also enjoyed the class notes section.
Keep up the good work!

I enjoyed the cover article—a very interesting and informative magazine. I'd like to continue to see articles on UH history and current event topics that relate to the 2020 growth plan.
