Builder's Award
To honor an OUTSTANDING young alumni volunteer!

Award Presentation

The Builder's Award is the highest honor that can be presented to a young alumni volunteer. It is presented at the annual Builder's Award ceremony in late January. The ceremony includes a chance for mingling and meeting other Rice young alums, fabulous food at an exciting location, as well as a keynote speaker. It is a great time to be had by all, and an event definitely not to be missed!
