UHV administrators, students visit Texas capitol

Administrators and student leaders from the University of Houston-Victoria pose for a picture Tuesday inside the Texas Capitol during the UHV Day at the Capitol event. During the event, UHV was recognized by the Texas Senate with a proclamation recognizing UHV Day at the Capitol, and students were able to sit in on the legislative session. Students and administrators also were able to speak with legislators, including those who represent Victoria, to discuss UHV’s requests during the current legislative session. In addition, UHV representatives also were able to meet the UH System student regent and representatives from UH-Clear Lake, who were also in Austin.
