UHV hosts pool party to celebrate Fourth of July

University of Houston-Victoria students play volleyball Thursday during a Fourth of July pool party hosted by the UHV Student Involvement office. During the party, students, faculty and staff members were able to enjoy the pool at UHV Jaguar Hall as well as a barbecued brisket with sides and a variety of games. Although university offices were closed during the holiday, the university hosted the party to give students living on campus an opportunity to have fun and celebrate while away from home.

The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region since 1973 in Victoria, Texas, offers courses leading to more than 50 academic programs in the schools of Arts & Sciences; Business Administration; and Education, Health Professions & Human Development. UHV provides face-to-face classes at its Victoria campus, as well as an instructional site in Katy, Texas, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. UHV supports the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Opportunities for All initiative to increase awareness about state colleges and universities and the important role they have in providing a high-quality and accessible education to an increasingly diverse student population, as well as contributing to regional and state economic development.
