President's Address
From our campus at the University of Houston-Downtown, we are fortunate to have the perfect vantage point overlooking downtown Houston. While that gives us a unique perspective of the city’s phenomenal growth, it also makes us aware of our symbiotic role in its prosperity.
We are deeply aware that our primary goal-the success of our students-ultimately affects a cascade of secondary targets. Secure families, flourishing industry, robust neighborhoods and a strong society are all the positive and lasting effects of a well-educated and engaged citizenry. At UHD, we educate many of the future citizens and leaders of Houston and the nation. That is why we are committed to providing an educational experience that is both personally and professionally meaningful.
Since 1974, the University of Houston-Downtown has grown rapidly in the number of students we serve and the number of degrees we offer. We have even more ambitious plans to come.
This booklet maps out our strategic plan through 2020. I hope you will read it with great enthusiasm, and then join us as we become a premiere city university educating graduates with 21st century skills that benefit Houston, and beyond.
Dr. Juan Sánchez Muñoz
UHD President
