We’re extending the Future in Focus survey to hear from more of our UTHealth Houston community—all employees, students, and trainees. Our goal is to have 80% participation of survey responses. To help push the competition further, every school, clinical practice, or administrative area that reaches the goal will earn a pizza party.

Yes, free pizza. But even more importantly, this is your opportunity to influence the direction of UTHealth Houston for the next 10 years.

Take the Future in Focus Survey

The strategic plan, informed by this survey, will guide how we advance education, research, clinical care, and service—as well as the future of our people and programs.

To build a plan that reflects our community, we need your ideas, priorities, and experiences.

Every response brings your group closer to 80% and helps ensure your voice is represented. Complete the survey today, then encourage your colleagues to do the same.

Help shape UTHealth Houston’s next decade. Help your group reach 80%. And enjoy the pizza.
