When Monisha Walker was able to get her bachelor’s degree five years ago, it was a huge deal for her. Now, she is preparing to get her master’s degree from the University of Houston-Victoria in December.

“When I was young, I felt like I was stupid and couldn’t accomplish anything, so getting my bachelor’s degree was a major achievement,” the Houston resident said. “Now, getting my master’s degree is an opportunity for me to achieve even more while also following my interests and taking a new direction in my future career.”

For University of Houston-Victoria education students, by the time they graduate from the university, they will begin their teaching career on a level comparable to a second-year teacher, thanks to a new residency program.

Dysocheata Van is someone who is driven to do her best in everything she does. With her hard work ethic and love for learning, she was able to attain high grades and earn her place on honors lists and academic honor societies. Now, the University of Houston-Victoria's College of Natural & Applied Science is applauding her for her academic achievements.

Giving Tuesday is almost here, and members of the community can help the University of Houston-Victoria achieve a new record and help the university earn an extra $10,000 in donations.

Every year, UHV takes part in Giving Tuesday, a national initiative that encourages people to give to local charities and nonprofits on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. During the past few years, UHV has received record-breaking numbers of donations, and the university is hoping to do the same this year on Nov. 29.
