The University of Houston System and the Houston Health Department (HHD) have formalized a systemwide partnership agreement to expand paid internships, practicums, research opportunities and applied learning experiences for students across the University of Houston (UH), University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) and University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL).

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has appointed University of Houston student Christian A. “Chris” Pepe as the next student regent on the UH System Board of Regents. Pepe’s term began on June 1, and he will serve on the Board until May 31, 2027, representing students across all three UH System universities.

Building on a period of remarkable growth, the University of Houston System welcomes four new members to its Board of Regents — accomplished leaders who will continue driving the system’s push for academic and research excellence.
