UTRGV HCH focuses on promoting a familial culture that is responsive to all student's needs, and that gives all students every chance to succeed with academic support classes that supplement their college courses. Giving back to the community is a focal point for all students as they participate in 200 hours of community service. Students display strong character values at all times, and get a real-life college experience both academically and emotionally. For more information, checkout the UTRGV HCH website.
