Renu Khator Chancellor, UH System President, University of Houston

Renu Khator became the eighth Chancellor of the University of Houston System and the 13th President of the University of Houston in January 2008. Since becoming President, she has made student success her top priority, along with building a nationally competitive research university that is recognized among the best in the nation. Her commitment to students has fueled her resolve as she has already made great strides in taking the University of Houston to the next level as a Tier One university.
In January 2008, when she assumed the presidency, President Renu Khator launched a "100 Days" drive to gather comments on how to help the University of Houston move to Tier One status. More than 12,000 suggestions were received from the UH students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as donors, friends, and civic and community leaders. These suggestions were categorized and prioritized into "big rocks" and "small rocks," the "big rocks" being goals and initiatives of broad interest and importance.
After a series of meetings, retreats, and open forums, six strategic goals were adopted by the UH System Board of Regents, and four "big rocks", or major initiatives toward Tier One, were announced by President Khator at her investiture.
To identify action items in support of the six strategic goals, President Khator appointed a nine-member Strategic Action Group (SAG) in the fall of 2008. SAG was led by a number of UH's most distinguished faculty members, and included the presidents of the Student Government Association and the Staff Council. Six committees -- one for each goal -- met, deliberated, and presented their recommendations to the UH community at a series of town hall meeting. The next step in the SAG process is to begin implementing the recommendations.
