The general workload responsibilities of a faculty member at a complex institution such as the University of Houston can neither be defined simply nor summarized easily. Faculty members have fundamental obligations above and beyond organized teaching and research. They perform their normal classroom duties and carry out a multitude of essential functions including, but not limited to, academic advising and counseling, the supervision of undergraduate and graduate students, direction of individual study, special projects, theses and dissertations, and curriculum development. In addition, they accept many institutional and public service obligations. The variety of faculty responsibilities that must be undertaken for the university to function in an effective and efficient manner makes it impossible to equate faculty workload with the sum total of semester credit hours taught, or with any other single criterion. Indeed, it is inappropriate to adopt any measure of faculty workload that is fundamentally numerical in nature without consideration of qualitative issues. While recognizing these facts, however, the university must develop a minimum

  • GRADUATE STUDY in CHEMISTRY Rice University Graduate Study At
    Graduate Study at The Department of Chemistry at Rice University provides a uniquely stimulating environ- GRADUATE STUDY ment for scientific research. In addition to the classical research areas of organic, inorganic, IN CHEMISTRY physical and theoretical chemistry, interdisciplinary research has long been a central focus at Rice University Rice. We have minimal barriers between departments, and work that spans science and engi- neering is particularly facile here. Most chemistry faculty members hold joint appointments with other departments, including bioengineering, biochemistry and cell biology, chemical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, physics and astronomy, computer science, and mechanical engineering and materials science. We have a close relationship with Baylor College of Medicine, and many of our labs address problems in bio-organic, bio-inorganic, bio-materials and bio-physical chemistry. The collaborative environment at Rice was critical to the development of nanotechnolgy, having facilitated the work of two of the first Nobel laureates in the area. Nanotechnology has blossomed into a major strength of the department, which houses one of only six National Science Foundation-funded centers for nanoscale sci- ence and engineering. Students are encouraged to visit the Department of Chemistry Web page for more detailed information about faculty research. Immersed in this environment of scientific discovery, the graduate program is designed to de- velop students’ ability to conduct independent, creative, scientific research and cultivate habits of inquiry that will ensure continued intellectual development throughout their careers. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The degree requirements at Rice are designed to maximize the number and quality of doctoral Rice University students’ publications. Formal course requirements are unusually flexible: six one-semester Department of Chemistry courses in any relevant area of science or engineering.

  • The Hall of Honor and the Move to Tier One Athletics by Debbie Z
    The Hall of Honor and the Move to Tier One Athletics By Debbie Z. Harwell rom its earliest days, the University of Houston rose to Fthe top in athletics—not in football or basketball as you might expect, but in ice hockey. The team competed for the first time in 1934 against Rice Institute in the Polar Wave Ice Rink on McGowan Street. It went undefeated for the season, scoring three goals to every one for its opponents. The next year, only one player returned, but the yearbook reported that they “represented a fighting bunch of puck- pushers.” They must have been because the team had no reserves and played entire games without a break.1 The sports picture changed dramatically in 1946 when the University joined the Lone Star Conference (LSC) and named Harry H. Fouke as athletic director. He added coaches in men’s tennis, golf, track, football, and basketball, and a new director of women’s athletics focused on physical education. Although the golf team took second in confer- The 1934 Houston Junior College ice hockey team, left to right: Nelson ence play and the tennis team ranked fourth, basketball was Hinton, Bob Swor, Lawrence Sauer, Donald Aitken (goalie), Ed the sport that electrified the Cougar fans.

The tradition dates back to 1953, when mascot was revived in 2011 with Shasta VI, our current living cougar mascot, who Shasta I, the presiding cougar mascot, lost a toe in a cage door resides in a beautifully-outfitted habitat at the Houston Zoo. Costumed Shasta on the way to a game.

The mascots do pushups after each Cougar 1976 with a 30-0 win over that same team, tradition tells Cougar touchdown scored, to match the total on the scoreboard. Fans count along as the faithful the paw is extended on the right hand to demonstrate mascots complete the pushups, and their voices are matched with the sounding unity among the UH community. of the Spirit Bell and the Spirit of Houston Marching Band’s music. THE OFFICIAL CLASS RING The class ring is presented each semester at a formal Ring Ceremony, an event held prior to both the December and May graduations.
