University of Houston building to be renamed after Indian-American couple

Durga Agrawal came to Houston in 1968 with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Delhi College of Engineering. He earned his master's degree and Ph D in industrial engineering from the UH Cullen College of Engineering. "My message to the students is to always be optimistic; one can achieve any goal with hard work, persistence and determination," Agrawal said. Eloise Brice, vice president of University Advancement, said the Agrawal's gift will benefit a number of key objectives. "Recruiting the best and brightest students and faculty is a key goal for the University of Houston, and this generous gift will allow the Cullen College of Engineering to make great strides in that arena," Brice said.
