Mission: The School of Human Sciences and Humanities (HSH) offers the individualized attention that is the hallmark of small, liberal arts colleges along with the varied course offerings and research opportunities afforded by large universities in a nurturing, respectful environment. HSH is committed to the strongly held values of honoring diverse populations, fostering global perspectives, and promoting justice. HSH is built on excellent teaching, rigorous research, and faithful service to our students, colleagues, university, professions, and our community. We honor our history as an upper-division institution by encouraging transfer students in the pursuit of their educational goals as we reach out to new students through innovative four-year degree plans. We provide strong graduate programs that serve the needs of traditional and non-traditional students through expert advising, interdisciplinary options, and multiple modes of instruction. The five divisions of the School explore the multiple facets of the human condition. Through 15 undergraduate and 15 graduate programs, HSH develops our students’ critical-thinking, creative, and communication skills. The School’s reach extends to the two satellite campuses at Sugar Land, Pearland, and the student population at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility in Rosharon, Texas. We serve the Clear Lake community through our various Centers, the UHCL Art Gallery, and our continuing education programs. Members of our faculty serve their disciplines and their professions through their contributions of scholarship and professional service at the highest levels.

HSH's own Karen Fiscus is at it again! Her support of the Empty Bowls Houston project is inspiring!
We have SO MANY incredible artists that make and donate bowls for our event. Today, we wanted to tell you about one of them ...
Karen Fiscus is a local artist/potter who lives in the Clear Lake area and she works at UH-Clear Lake Art Gallery. As you know, the event supports Houston Food Bank, and Karen has supported in a BIG way!
In 2012, local artist/wood artist/furniture maker Clark Kellogg came up with the idea to do a bowl challenge, where he would challenge himself to make a 100 bowls to benefit Empty Bowls Houston that year. Once he announced it, a few other artists decided to take the challenge as well, and one of those was Karen Fiscus.
She accomplished the goal that year…and amazingly, has done the same for six years in a row, and will do it again this year! That means that single-handedly, Karen has made and donated 700 bowls to Empty Bowls Houston! That is quite a dedication of time an talent, and when you consider that each of those bowls fetches $25 (and she always sells every single bowl!), she alone has helped raise $17,500 to benefit Empty Bowls Houston/Houston Food Bank. AND, for and every $1 donated to Houston Food Bank they can provide three meals, so that means that Fiscus’ contribution alone has provided 52,500 meals to our neighbors in need.
Thank you, Karen!

Hey Hawks! Did you know that UHCL and the College of Human Sciences and Humanities will sponsor the Model Arab League intercollegiate competition for the third straight year! The Model Arab League is an annual competition that draws about 200 students and faculty sponsors from across the southwestern United States to discuss the politics and history of the Arab World. Watch for it: February 16-17!
Welcome back, Hawks, to the spring 2019 semester! Good luck as you begin the new term!
Does this look familiar? How fortunate we are to enjoy such beautiful and important artworks on our campus! Be sure to look for this piece by Dorothy Hood in the Bayou building the next time you're on campus and take time to see the exhibition of her works at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts.
The Houston Museum of Fine Arts currently has an exhibition of art by Dorothy Hood, which makes the painting by her that UHCL has displayed in the Bayou Building seem even more special, if that is possible.
Happy New Year, Hawks! The HSH Advising Office is open, and our advising staff is looking forward to helping you reach your academic goals for 2019. Call 281-283-3333 for an appointment today and get ready for the start of the new term on Tuesday, January 22.
The fall 2018 semester is officially over! We join all our students in looking forward to the winter holiday break. Our offices are open this week, but we will close at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 21 and reopen at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, January 2, 2019. Happy holidays!

The game placed first in the Student's Choice category at the I/ITSEC converence, the largest simulation and serious games conference in the world. Pictured are Anne Henry, Clinical Assistant Professor of Digital Media Studies, and Jana Willis, Professor of Instructional Design and Technology, accepting this year's award.

HSH Student Leaders and Honors Celebration 2015
Dr. Gene Coleman has rubbed elbows with—and trained many great nonprofessional and professional athletes—including Pitching Legend Rolan Ryan. As Ryan was being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999, he credited Coleman’s strength and condition techniques for the long-term pitching success he enjoyed until age 46 (http://baseballhall.org/node/11303). Here at UHCL, we’ve recognized Dr. Coleman’s value for nearly four decades. Our hats are off to Dr. Coleman and, we wish him well in his retirement.
Check out Dean Rick Short's Welcome, now posted on the new HSH Administrative page. Thanks to Dr. Short and Brent Goucher!
