SUPPORT YOUR CLASS’S REUNION GIVING CAMPAIGN
Making a reunion gift is a meaningful way to ensure that current and future Owls enjoy the same incredible education you experienced. Any gift to any area of Rice counts toward your class total. Please consider giving generously to The Rice Fund to provide scholarships, support teaching excellence and sustain the vibrant campus community that makes Rice, Rice. Class gifts will be presented during halftime at the homecoming football game vs. UAB on Saturday, Nov. 8.
