"Welcome To The Team"
The College of Public Service Advising Team would like to introduce our two new members to the UHD community:
Brenda Lozano
Academic Success Coordinator I
Hi! my name is Brenda Lozano, and I graduated from UHD in 2019 with a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies. I am excited to join the ACS team at the College of Public Service. For the past three years, I have assisted students in a different capacity at UHD at the Registrar’s office as Customer Service and as an Admissions Counselor at the Admissions Office. My favorite hobbies are spending time with my family & friends, making arts & crafts, and baking.
Taylor Smith
Academic Success Coordinator II
Taylor has been with UHD for 7 months as an Academic Success Coordinator II. She brings five years of advising and student success experience to the College of Public Service. Smith is a Beaumont, Texas native who completed her bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin and will be completing her master’s degree in Sociology this spring from Sam Houston State University. In her spare time, she likes to run in the park and watch crime shows.

The mission of academic advising in the College of Public Service is to assist students in relating their needs, values, abilities, and goals to the educational programs of Urban Education and Criminal Justice, and Social Work at the University of Houston-Downtown.
There are three academic disciplines in CPS which offer undergraduate degree programs: the Criminal Justice Program, the Social Work Program, and the department of Urban Education (C-440). The Criminal Justice Program and the Social Work Program are within the same academic department, the Department of Criminal Justice and Social Work, and are located in C-340 (Criminal Justice faculty), and in C-330 (a combination of Social Work and Criminal Justice Faculty).
