It's Pride Month, and Rice University is so excited we participated in Houston's first Pride Parade since 2019! Check out some photos of students, alumni, faculty and staff walking in the parade and celebrating the diversity of Rice's LGBTQIA+ community.

    A Day in Houston

    Rice Owls often remark that campus is a bubble. Although our campus is always active and has many events put on for students, the city of Houston has many options too. Throughout the semester, Nimah and Devin have been using their weekends to explore Houston’s bakeries, restaurants, markets, libraries, and more to immerse themselves in the greater Houston community & culture.
