Owl Days is always a great time for students to come to students and even meet alumni who love showing off their Rice spirit in unique ways like with these decorated shoes!

This year, the theme for Africayé was "An Evening in Africa," and performances from students were inspired by their community's stories of truly magical nights in Africa.

Each year, the Rice African Student Association invites students to attend Africayé, a collection of performances celebrating the African Diaspora.

Rice students were able to make it out for a Rice night hosted by the Houston Rockets, our professional basketball team!

This social event is a Rice favorite since students get to dress up and blast music from the early 2000's.

Each year, Rice students like to get down like it's the beginning of the millennium once more for a Y2K-themed party!

At the North Colleges Block Party, all of the students at the North Colleges (Brown, Jones, Martel, McMurtry, ) were invited to socialize and even toast marshmallows!

While many residential colleges hold individual events, sometimes they come together for larger occasions, such as the North Colleges Block Party.

Rice groups like the Center for Civic Leadership often host excursions like this into Houston so that students have a chance to experience all that Houston has to offer.

Students who went on this excursion to BLCK Market Houston got to enjoy the shopping, performances, and, of course, food.

The Center for Civic Leadership took some Rice students on a field trip to BLCK Market Houston, where students were able connect with Black artists and entrepreneurs.
