UHCL professors spend their careers watching Hawks cross the Commencement stage. This spring, Dr. Uttam Pokharel watched a favorite Hawk – his daughter.

For years, commencement at UHCL was familiar ground for Dr. Pokharel as a chemistry professor in the College of Science and Engineering. But this spring, everything felt different. His daughter Shradha was among the graduates.

From Nepal to UHCL, from faculty member to proud father, this is a story about the moments that remind us why education matters most. Read the full story at the link. https://news.uhcl.edu/from-professor-to-proud-father/

What happens when you trade a glass ceiling for a new calling? 🦅

When Jamelah Thomas enrolled in the Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) program at UHCL, she wanted a path with deeper purpose. Her journey was paved with personal transitions and the challenge of navigating a new industry, but she found exactly the support she needed to succeed.

Thanks to UHCL’s direct ties to the Texas Medical Center and mentors who challenged her to lead, Jamelah transformed her confidence. By tackling national case competitions and engaging in hands-on learning, she landed a full-time role at Houston Methodist well before crossing the commencement stage.

She didn't arrive at UHCL with every step of her future mapped out. What Keamia Rasa did bring was curiosity, determination, and a willingness to keep asking questions.

Those questions led Keamia from the classroom to human performance research, spaceflight initiatives, and opportunities to connect with leaders shaping the future of space exploration.

Her story is a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful paths begin with simply being curious enough to take the next step.
