Student Publications

Our goal at UHCL Student Media is to create educational, engaging content for the students by the students. All aspects of media production such as brainstorming, journalism, copy-editing, content creation/editing, graphic design, photography/videography, and social media promotion are student driven. 

The Signal

UHCL's official student newspaper, The Signal is a 100% digital newspaper published by students that provides a public forum for students, faculty and staff.

As a non-traditional student, I was concerned about starting college and not having anything in common with my classmates. Since I walked in the door at Student Media, I have felt accepted and welcomed. My participation has not only given me ways to relate to my younger peers, but has also allowed me the opportunity to interact with and get to know more of our school community than I ever would have otherwise.

About The Signal

All students are encouraged to become a part of the publication regardless of their declared major. Consistent with the shared governance philosophy of this university, it is The Signal’s goal to provide a forum to which all constituents of the university community have access. 

The Signal allows students to develop/improve their expertise in various journalistic skills as well as providing a space for students to gain confidence in their ability to handle a similar environment after graduation.

Working with student publications at UHCL has opened me up a lot to meeting new people. Going to a commuter school, it’s hard to get to know others when everyone is in and out but when there is a space for people to get together and share ideas outside of a classroom, it allowed me to meet many interesting people and build stronger relationships.
