Welcome Rice Young Alumni

As a Rice Young Alum, countless resources are made available to you on campus, in the Rice Community and around the globe. From the virtual portal that offers the alumni directory and career connections to on-campus opportunities in the classroom and through the use of facilities to access to alumni groups around the globe, young alumni are equipped with services that will continue their Rice experience even after they have walked out through the Sallyport.

Rice Young Alumni is a branch of the larger Association of Rice Alumni (ARA), comprised of all 31,000 Rice graduates. Young alumni are those who have graduated within the last ten years.

The Young Alumni Association is a volunteer led group whose goal is to facilitate access to the priceless opportunities and services that you as a graduate have earned. We are supported by the Office of Alumni Affairs and adhere to the ARA's principles of pride, professionalism and philanthropy .

The flagship Young Alumni Association program is the Houston Young Alumni Committee. It is here that the board meets and where programs are developed. Members of the HYAC are able to gain lifelong experience as board members and leaders that will serve them personally, professionally and philanthropically.
