Dr. Khator said she appreciated President Glenn and what he has brought to UHV. She closed this meeting by saying UHV is an important part of the University of Houston System.

The chancellor’s agenda was full for her visit to UHV. She toured University Northwest, University Commons and University South. Dr. Khator also had lunch with community members and met with student leaders all prior to the University South Ribbon Cutting.

Even though we are not as close to Main Campus as the other System campuses, Chancellor Khator’s visit showed her support of UHV.

Meeting Closed at 10:45 a.m.
