This is the semester you've finally promised yourself to get more involved on campus, right? Or make friends in your history class so you have a study group by midterms. With a student population so large, its easy to feel overwhelmed and out of contact with the rest of the community.
However, we live in an extremely diverse city and UH students, faculty, and staff are proof of it. This allows for a multi-cultural experience that not every university has the privilege to offer. Daily contact and exchange with people from all over the world can provide the UH community with a glimpse of the wider world and allows for us to comprehend the different cultures that co-exist and make of Houston an interesting city to live in.
The University of Houston has over 400 student organizations and clubs, each with a specific mission and goal. If you don't know where to start looking, the
Center for Student Involvement is a good start. Located on the second floor of the University Center, CSI provides involvement opportunities for all students at UH. Check out their
website and
start finding or starting your own club.
The
Houstonian Yearbook Collection has captured some of the organizations that have passed through our campus since student involvement has always been present at UH. Drama clubs, French clubs, men's and women's sports clubs are some examples. Student associations usually have a more serious agenda and have always been an important drive for making our university a better institution.
