Did you know that the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) has a YouTube channel?

For the last nine years, the University showcases how our campus is thriving and how Gators are finishing UHD Strong.

The latest installment to UHD’s YouTube channel is “Let’s Get These Beats Turned Up” featuring our very own Gatorettes Dance Team and Cheer Team, students, faculty members such as renowned professor of art Floyd Newsum and assistant professor of communication studies Dr. Creshema Murray, and UHD President, Dr. Juan Sánchez Muñoz—all in sync with a beat-filled soundtrack.

Produced by the Office of University Relations, in conjunction with Kahuna Films, this is the third commercial created in the past two years for UHD.

“We want to show a balance of academics and student life in every commercial we create while also highlighting our dynamic Downtown campus,” said Elisa Crossland, executive director of University Relations. “The UHD culture is vibrant and diverse, and we love to let that energy shine!”


The commercial is set to begin airing on 10 stations via Comcast/Xfinity and AT&T/DirecTV providers throughout Greater Houston on Oct. 1.
