It’s the Little Things

At the University of Houston, some moments leave more than just memories — they leave a lasting mark on the heart. We asked students to share a kind moment they've experienced on campus that stuck with them, and their responses were filled with gratitude. These stories reflect how the power of kindness, no matter how small the act, can go a long way.

This slideshow offers a window into those heartfelt experiences. Step into the stories that make UH a more compassionate community, and how one thoughtful act can create a ripple effect of positivity across campus.
