About Horns Helping Horns

Program Support:

Advising and advocacy during semesterly check-ins
Mentorship program
Monthly meetings with personal development focus
Social programming
Referrals to on and off-campus services
Monthly newsletters

Financial Support (as funding allows):

Semesterly scholarships
Computer and software purchases
Health and well-being services

"I joined HHH late into my Junior year at UT, but if I could go back and join as early as possible, I most definitely would. HHH opened my world to allow me to experience what it's like to be surrounded by a like-minded community and played a major role as a support system."
