With over 47,000 students enrolled at UH during the fall, the University has a variety of resources to make the transition into college easier. Here are a few must-visit places freshmen should go during their time at UH. 

Women’s Gender and Resource Center

WGRC was established in 2004 and started off as a small cubicle before landing its own space in Student Center South. The center provides free resources to students such as menstrual products, condoms, pregnancy tests, first-aid supplies, snacks, a small selection of clothing, computers and a hang-out space. 

The center also provides confidential services for students to talk with UH staff about issues that concern them, whether it’s related to their personal, academic or professional lives. WGRC can be a good place to start with concerns, as they can refer students to community resources that can better serve them outside of UH.  

Student Health Center & Campus Pharmacy

The Student Health Center is located on the second floor and offers students non-emergency medical care. Students can schedule an appointment through AccessUH using the HealthyCoog Patient Portal. 

Alongside its non-emergency care, UH also offers psychiatry services that can be scheduled by phone at 713-743-5149. The psychiatry clinic has board-certified psychiatric physicians who can evaluate symptoms and determine the best course of action. Prescriptions can be filled at the Campus Pharmacy or the student’s pharmacy of choice. 

Located on the first floor of the Health 2 Building, the pharmacy sells a small selection of medicines for allergies, cold, flu and etc. 

Academic 

Learning Advancements for Undergraduate Cougars of Houston is UH’s official Learning Center. LAUNCH provides peer tutoring for students who would be learning from their classmates who are at the top of their class. There are tutoring sessions for all subjects, and hours can be accessed online. 

UH also has a Writing Center that provides one-on-one writing consultations for all types of writing assignments such as final papers, scholarship essays, resumes and lab reports. Consultants can help students in all stages of their writing process, whether it’s brainstorming, reading a rough draft or a final look over. With online and face-to-face options, the Writing Center meets students where they are. 

Religion Center

The A.D. Bruce Religion Center is UH’s hub for people of all faiths to practice and explore spiritually. It places a large emphasis on interfaith dialogue and hosts several events for the UH community. Its most notable event is serving free lunch on Wednesdays which draws a large crowd every week. The center also hosts Mass every Sunday. 

It has reservable spaces for the UH community to use and is a popular spot for weddings, baptisms and memorials. 

Accessibility Center

The Justin Dart Jr. Student Accessibility Center is the place to go for any accommodations and support services. It provides support for students with learning disabilities, physical limitations, psychiatric disorders and temporary or permanent health impairments. Students must register with the center first before meeting with an Access Coordinator who can address their needs.

Some accommodations include extended time on exams, note-taking supports, audio-recorded lectures and accessible furniture. 

All of these departments aim to provide the best experience for students at UH, and knowing they exist is the best way to make the most out of these services.

UH pauses federal research grants due to Trump’s executive orders, attacks on DEI continue

Lily Huynh/The Cougar

Wednesday afternoon, President Renu Khator sent an email to the UH community explaining the impact of President Donald Trump’s federal orders regarding federal funding for research. 

Several science-based grants will be affected by the federal order that will reduce the cap to 15% on indirect costs to grants with several UH federal grants already paused or stopped. 

“The changes we are currently seeing may affect funding announcements, proposal deadlines, review committee meeting schedules, award reporting requirements, and other grant-related activities,” said an official UH communication on the matter. 

This comes after Trump’s administration ordered educational institutions to cease DEI initiatives through a “Dear Colleague” letter sent to universities. 

“Educational institutions have toxically indoctrinated students with the false premise that the United States is built upon “systemic and structural racism” and advanced discriminatory policies and practices,” said Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainer in a letter on Feb. 14. 

UH has already taken strides to follow similar executive orders with the closure of the LGBTQ Resource Center in 2023 that led to student protests on campus.

It is unclear which specific grants are affected, but staff, faculty and students should be on the lookout for any communications regarding their federally funded research projects.

UH rape suspect arrested, in custody

Jose Gonzalez-Campelo/The Cougar

Tuesday afternoon, Eric Latroy Brown, 40, was arrested at the Texas Street and Emmanuel Street intersection. 

Authorities say Brown was riding the METRORail when a civilian spotted him which led to his arrest. 

“Investigators say an officer monitoring METRO cameras also recognized Brown.  He was arrested at that intersection and taken into custody without incident,” said authorities.

Brown was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault and a count of aggravated robbery in connection with the rape of a UH student in the Welcome Center student garage on Feb. 7. 

Brown was initially arrested the same day by UHPD for unrelated charges and was later released. It is unclear whether or not the officers who approached him knew he was the suspect at that time. 

According to KHOU, Brown is believed to be homeless and was spotted using the MetroRail and at libraries in the area. 

The Cougar will continue to provide updates as the story develops.
