(The Oct. 23 President's Report to the Community will be streamed live at 2 p.m.)

It's been a milestone year for the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD). A new president, a historic $10 million naming gift, and the planning of a new academic building are transforming the University into a bigger, bolder institution of higher learning.

UHD will soon commemorate recent successes while focusing on its future during the weeklong celebration, Invest in Blue. From Oct. 21 through 26, the UHD family and Houstonians will come together for a variety of events addressing themes of University pride and progress.

Invest in Blue highlights include the first Report to the Community from Dr. Juan Sánchez Muñoz, UHD President, on Oct. 23. This event will be live streamed starting at 2 p.m. The following day, Muñoz hosts community members at a naming ceremony for the Marilyn Davies College of Business, and a Vision and Welcome Event outlining UHD's journey forward and how Houstonians can support its growth. Local entrepreneur and UHD benefactor Marilyn Davies will be in attendance at both of these events.

"Invest in Blue offers members of the community opportunities to learn about this great institution and to be a part of its growth," Muñoz said. "We look forward to reflecting on the University's successes while setting new goals as well as welcoming Houstonians to our campus for events that spotlight UHD's excellence in academics, community service and research."
