Transcript | Organizations They were behind the scenes. They were on the sidelines and in the stands. They were the organizations and clubs which made the University of Houston a community instead of hundreds of classrooms. Students and faculty members spent countless unpaid, and often unappreciated, hours organizing and carrying out their organizations goals. Whether one was looking for a group with like-minded political beliefs or a way to support the University of Houston, a student could easily find a place to fit in. Often controversial, sometimes confrontational, these students made their presence known. If a presidential candidate was in town, one could be sure the College Republicans or Democrats were right there. National Coming Out Day allowed GLOBAL members the chance to stake their claim on campus and across the country. Members of the Students' Association took on the side of the students in many issues throughout the year while the Student Publications Committee fended off complaints of burning hot cartoons in The Daily Cougar. There was a time in the universitys history where the schools' organizations and students could be described as quiet and perhaps more serious. That was then. This is now. |
