Just maria bitgood you know, the Gator is our University of Houston — Downtown mascot. We named the big event Gator Gateway to honor of our newest gators and to provide a gateway for their success.
Our premise was that people on a cruise ship are really going places. Maria bitgood one sense the entire ship is moving forward to a destination, and in another, the individuals on the ship are also moving forward as they develop relationships and engage in specific shipboard activities.
We like to think of this maria bitgood comparable to the university experience where students are involved with a group of like-minded individuals who maria bitgood focused on a common goal of study, graduation, and success in their profession of choice, and at the same time achieving unique, incremental milestones toward that larger goal.
This might be a creating a successful class presentation or paper, participating in a professional student organization, or other similar experiences which contribute to the overall goal.
We began our week with a welcome to the cruise. The tour included highlights such as our Student Resource Rooms for study and collaborative activities, our Advising Center, and the paintings in the lobby of each of our four floors by artist and UHD professor, Floyd Newsum.
Students mingled with representatives and leaders of our student organizations in Criminal Justice, Social Work, and Urban Education as well as faculty in all maria bitgood of these areas.

Within their mentor maria bitgood of up to 15 freshmen, our UHD freshmen will engage with their maria bitgood and will take two of their first semester classes together.

There were large crowds at the organization tables and we look forward to working, serving, and socializing with all of our energetic new club members!
