At the University of Houston, we believe in innovation, risk-taking and challenging the status quo. When we set out to achieve a goal, nothing can stop us. The University of Houston Board of Visitors plays a crucial role in our success, working alongside influential leaders and visionaries to shape our bold future. 

The board serves as a champion for the University’s key priorities, collaborating closely with University leadership to transform dreams into reality. Comprised of private sector leaders, change-makers and advocates, board members are valued partners of the University of Houston. They have the unique opportunity to foster meaningful discussions about our greatest ambitions. Together, this diverse group leverages their broad array of expertise, interests and connections to provide leadership, guide their strategies and amplify their message as ambassadors to the community. 

For over 10 years, the board has influenced the advancement of our strategic priorities and witnessed the profound impact of their success across all areas of the University. Their efforts have played a pivotal role in our growth, including the establishment of the Fertitta Family College of Medicine, the Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts, support for our transition to a Power Five athletics conference and various campus enhancement projects. As essential allies in fulfilling our mission, the board embodies the hunger, determination and spirit that lives within every Cougar.
