The MIGH had its Día de la Familia, also known as Family Day, at the George R. Brown Convention Center on Sunday, June 26th, 2011. This event included a graduation ceremony for approximately 600 students who successfully completed the Basic Computer Technology and Application Course or HTML Course offered by the Mexican Institute of Greater Houston in partnership with the Tecnológico de Monterrey of Mexico, and the (UH) University of Houston's Texas Learning and Computation Center (TLC²).
