“I think that an institution
should be aware of its own strengths and unique characteristics
and leverage those to be the best that it can be.”
—Student
“.
. . Research that makes a difference, that helps improve
people’s daily lives. . . . In terms of teaching,
a premier research institution needs to be able to attract
the best students and, more important, keep them and see
them graduate—so they can make a contribution to
the world. —Faculty/Staff
“Instead of just looking at this from the city viewpoint,
UH needs to expand within the state, either with online
offerings or with satellite campuses. Create the need and
go where there is need.” —Austinite
“UH
can not only become the center of research, learning, and
growth, it also can become the vehicle to transform our
community into a city of innovative thinkers, in terms
of new technology and
best-in-class business practices.” —Houstonian

“Energy,
space, and healthcare are Houston’s
strengths and should be ours. Houston also is known for
transportation and an entrepreneurial environment that
created great leaders. We need to embrace what made Houston
great to become Houston’s university.” —Faculty/Staff
“We
need to build MORE, MORE, MORE dorms! I think this will
really be the main catalyst needed for UH to move forward.
The sooner this is done, the better the university will
be. It will create enthusiasm and campus pride.” —Alumnus
“Large
endowment, exceptional student body, top research faculty,
massive increase in support from the state of Texas.” —Student
“UH has many world-class strengths. It is disheartening
to continually hear/read that ‘UH is BECOMING,’ or ‘UH
ASPIRES
TO BE’ when, in many areas, it already IS.” —Faculty/Staff
“Have the local stores sell UH apparel. How can
we show our pride when we have such a difficult time finding
anything that says UH? We feel that the community is not
made fully aware that this university can offer so much.” —Parent
“There is no easy fix. The president should make
HARD CHOICES and EXECUTE THEM. Many people will be unhappy,
but there is no way around it.” —Faculty/Staff
“Besides the obvious high standards for academics,
it is imperative that the institution have a unified and
recognizable image, ranging from its architecture to its
advertising, and is constantly on the national stage through
its athletics program.” —Alumnus
“Sports Teams! Student Life! Location!”—Student |
