A message from Association of Rice Alumni President Michol McMillian Ecklund ’97 (September 2018)

I write this fall newsletter with great pride in our university’s recent announcement of The Rice Investment, a new initiative that significantly expands financial support for low- and middle-class students. As alumni, we have all benefitted from Rice’s legacy of access and affordability, and alumni have been strong proponents of strengthening this important part of the Rice culture.

A Glimpse Through the Lenses of Rice’s Photographers

With over 50 years of collective experience, university photographers Tommy LaVergne and Jeff Fitlow have captured thousands of images documenting campus life at Rice. Their photos have immortalized once-in-a-lifetime moments such as the Dalai Lama’s 2007 campus visit and the turning of Willy’s Statue, to everyday moments that capture the spirit of the Rice community. We asked Tommy and Jeff to share a sampling of these images — and the stories of how they came to be.

A message from Association of Rice Alumni President Matt Haynie ’03 (June 2018)

Like many Rice alumni, especially those living outside of Houston, I don’t have the opportunity to visit campus as often as I would like. As a result, I am always eager to see the work of Rice’s photographers, and the photo essay in this newsletter presents some of the best examples of what they do — capturing high profile events as well as the sort of everyday activities that I remember best from my time as a student.
