Unforgettable Experience
Grace Adams was halfway through her senior year of high school when she learned about UMHB. The Houston resident happened to be in the area helping a friend who had car trouble. “My friend suggested I take a look at UMHB, and after I toured the campus, I knew this was the place I was supposed to be,” she said. Grace graduated with a double major in accounting and finance and now works at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Houston. Having a personal relationship with her professors, who shared their real-world experiences, left an unforgettable impression on Grace. “The classroom teaching was important, but hearing about where they have been and what they have done was invaluable.”
