Advancement Services

Associate Dean

NSM advancement activities help college constituents learn about and appreciate the important achievements and contributions of our faculty, students, and staff. Information gathering, timely news reporting, marketing, and publications preparation are responsibilities of this office. An important element of the advancement mission is communication with potential and current students and keeping in touch with our graduates.

NSM’s science writer, Noelle Heinze, connects with faculty members and academic and research units for news about the latest developments, and skillfully generates stories for publication. Since she collaborates with the university’s communications office, her work often finds its way into news releases.



Christopher Cheatham, program manager for advancement, is the creative force behind “In the Know,” a multifaceted ongoing communication program geared toward current students. He also is the staff advisor for the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Ambassadors and leads them in their valuable work for the college.

Since advancement is all about projecting positive messages, students are important members of our team. The NSM Ambassadors program, established three years ago, is successful because of the talent and commitment of its student members and the training they receive. NSM Ambassadors recruit talented students to UH, serve as hosts and ushers at college events, and engage with alumni and friends of the college at special events.

I invite you to review these pages and to contact us if we can be of service. Please check back periodically as we add more information.
