About UHAA

Since 1940, The University of Houston Alumni Association has served and supported the University of Houston, it's nearly 200,000 alumni, it's friends, and the community it calls home. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are governed by a 20-member Board of Directors who make sure we're best serving those groups, especially our 18,000 dues-paid members.

From student scholarships and legislative advocacy, to alumni networks and communications, UHAA is working to enhance the value of your degree and your alumni experience.

Mission Statement

The Alumni Association is dedicated to supporting and serving the University of Houston and its worldwide community of alumni and friends.

Vision Statement

UHAA activities reflect priorities of our alumni and complement aspirations of the university, the colleges, schools, and various institutional components such as admissions, advancement, athletics, community and government relations, the faculty, student life, and university events. Through area clubs and constituent and special interest groups, UHAA adds dimension to the outreach capabilities of the institution and provides avenues for active engagement and support.

By administering fiduciary oversight for alumni groups, managing scholarship programs, communicating broadly and effectively, sponsoring leadership recognition and awards ceremonies, and developing and sustaining lifelong relationships, UHAA expands the capacity for the university to prosper. It is a requisite link between the university and its alumni and friends.
