    Rice Univ. respects the right of free expression and encourages responsible citizenship among our current students and high school applicants. Disciplinary sanctions for participating in peaceful protests by students will not negatively impact their admission to the university.

    Space veterans who worked on Apollo 11 joined astronauts from all eras at Rice Stadium, where they shot a video on the very spot where President John F. Kennedy gave his famous 'We choose to go to the moon’ speech. See @NASA_Johnson's reunion video here: bit.ly/2LVVBhf

    Congratulations to Calvin Anderson ’18 and Monika Patterson ’16 on their recent engagement! These love birds met and fell in love at Rice, so Calvin knew Lovett Hall was the perfect spot for the proposal. Here’s to many years of happiness and love. 🦉💙🦉
