Position UH Libraries as a Campus Leader in Student Success Initiatives

Enrollment, retention and graduation are pillars of the University of Houston student success initiative. Students are experiencing evolving learning environments and rising to the challenge of more rigorous academic expectations and programs such as UHin4. Rising enrollment and retention have increased demand on space and campus resources. UH Libraries offers a strong array of instructional and co-curricular services and programs. To meet new challenges, we can take a stronger leadership role on campus in developing curricula, programming, and services.
