Student Life at UH We encourage all students to become involved in some type of activity outside the academic classroom; this contributes to students’ overall learning throughout their college experience. 14
We emphasize co-curricular engagement because students who are involved in some type of campus activity are shown to receive better grades, are more likely to graduate, are more satisfied with their collegiate experience and are more marketable when searching for a job or applying for graduate school. This is because involved students are developing and practicing the skills they learned in the classroom in their organizations!
