As Chancellor of the UH System, Renu Khator oversees an organization that serves more than 61,000 students, has a budget that exceeds $1.2 billion, and has a $3 billion economic impact on the Greater Houston area each year. During her tenure, UH has experienced record-breaking research funding and private support. Last year, UH brought in $110 million in research grants and began construction of its Energy Research Park, the Cougar football team ranked nationally in the top 25, and Tier One pathways for the University of Houston were created by the Texas Legislature and approved by voters. University of Houston is growing in a big way, with expansion underway to increase the number of students on campus from 35,000 to 45,000, double the learning space to 15 million square feet. It will also become a more residential, pedestrian-friendly campus, with 11,000 students living in apartment-style housing. And by achieving Tier One status, the University of Houston will pump even more power into the City of Houston’s economic engine. The value of taking UH to Tier One is estimated to create:
5,000+ new jobs
$129 million in wages to the regional economy
$7.5 million in additional state revenue
$202 million in local sales
Come join ULI as we hear from Regent Wilson and Chancellor Khator about the transformation UH is undergoing, and learn about their plans to keep Houston's economy ahead of the curve.
