Brittany Withers, a senior at Stockdale High School in Stockdale, plans to attend UHV to do two things.

She wants to play on the UHV Jaguars women’s golf team and study to be a teacher.

Withers first discovered golf after she injured her ankles during track her freshman year. When she was asked to try out golf, she wound up shooting a 91 during her first tournament. The coach told her that she should stay on the golf team.

Along with sports, she also is a member of several student organizations like Student Council, Future Farmers of America, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Family, Career and Community Leaders of America.

The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region, offers courses leading to more than 65 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs and concentrations in the schools of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, and Nursing. UHV provides face-to-face classes at its Victoria campus as well as teaching sites in Fort Bend and Harris counties, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. Since its founding in 1973, UHV has provided students with a quality university education from excellent faculty at an affordable price.
