The Student Centers celebrated National Custodian Appreciation Day on October 2, 2021 by organizing a goodie bag distribution for all 20 custodians. The custodial staff ensures our facilities are always clean, sanitary, and functional. They are quick on their feet and are always willing to assist when needed, even for last minute requests. Their contribution has been especially valuable in the past year, as they have done a phenomenal job at keeping the facility sanitized during the COVID-19 pandemic. As front-line workers, they have ensured University of Houston students and staff remain healthy and safe while in the facility.

The Student Centers has launched a new virtual program, the Race Card Project. This program aims to provide students with a safe and comfortable platform to speak out against racial injustice, and in the process, feature our students' feelings on the subject. This gives them the opportunity to give a personal perspective and share their individual story as it pertains to race. Tell us your story and see other student features by visiting the Race Card website.
