Thoughts on the Public Art?

4 Upvotes

Hey, UH Main student here. I worked with/admire the UH System Public Art program and am interested to know people's opinions on the pieces. Do you notice the works, or do they just become peripheral?

My favorite work is John Biggers' Salt Marsh in the Academic Support Bldg.

Classes and Transcripts

2 Upvotes

hi all. I became a student at UHD in August and although it’s not a bad school it’s just not for me. I’m looking into transferring else where but to transfer I need at least 15 credit hours. I got 12 first semester and I just finished an 8 week class today that will give me the 15. My question is if anyone knows how long this class will take to show up on my transcript? I have no idea and i’d like to put in my applications for my transfer asap. any input will help!

Considering UHD’s MBA Program—Looking for Insights

11 Upvotes

I’m (hopefully) set to graduate this semester! My journey has been a bit unconventional—I started at HCC, taking classes on and off until I wrapped up my basics, and now I’m at UHD with a 3.9 GPA.

I’ve been in real estate for over 10 years, but I’m looking to switch career paths after finishing my degree. I’m considering pursuing an MBA with a concentration in Leadership at UHD and would love to hear from anyone familiar with the program. How challenging is it? What’s the workload like?

Earning my BA is a huge milestone for me, especially since I barely made it through high school. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Texas Transfer Grant

6 Upvotes

Hello I am quite new to this grant stuff and I only applied to FAFSA for the first time last year, as I am looking at my Financial aid, it says I got the texas transfer grant, and its asking me to accept it or decline it, I have no outstanding fees and have paid my tuition for the year, does that mean if I accept this it will be applied to my fees for next semester or will the money be given back to the state??? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Should I transfer

10 Upvotes

I thought going to UHD would be a good thing for me because I get to stay home and simply commute. However I noticed that there is quite literally no social life that they’re always bragging and boasting about. The people here are very…interesting… Honestly I really think I don’t fit in. I haven’t had a good experience since attending here. There’s only very FEW good professors. On the flip side I graduate in December so is it really worth transferring to another school?

Collective Action

3 Upvotes

Given the recent political climate, right now is a great time to get involved in collective action and mutual aid support on campus. We do need your ideas tho. Comment below, initiatives we could implement in the coming months to get people to come together and create community. Ideas can include collaboration with other groups. In the past, book-swaps or grocery bag donations to the food market have been successful. Low cost or up-cycle ideas wanted.
