EXPLORE LIFE AT RICE

What if you could get a first-hand
look at life at Rice

  • Sharing culture not only fortifies communities from within but also fosters connections across diverse groups. At Rice, this principle resonates deeply with our student body. Every year, cultural organizations host vibrant showcases to share and celebrate one another’s identity on campus throughfood, dance, art, and music. Showcases serve as a way to cultivate appreciation and respect for each other’s diverse experiences and upbringing. And frankly put, they are quite fun! Below, we present a glimpse into some of the many events and activities that are put on by cultural clubs on Rice’s campus.

  • Rice students, whether through research or community service, strive to embody the values of innovation and care by prioritizing the health and wellbeing of their fellow students. Student-led health initiatives are a pivotal part of the university’s efforts to encourage students to learn beyond the classroom. Take a look below at just a few of the student-led health initiatives that are embedded in Rice’s Culture of Care.

  • The MOB's vibrant and spirited performances have become a staple at Rice football games, and their unique style of scattering into various formations on the field while playing good music adds an element of entertainment to every game.

This long weekend allows Owls to seek some well-deserved solace, rest and fun amidst the busy school year.
