We are working with our tour operators to currently monitor the impact of Coronavirus and the need to potentially cancel trips that fall within the CDC’s high level advisory alerts.
Travel is a transformative experience, especially if you're a Traveling Owl! Our Rice Alumni Traveling Owls trips are designed to bring learning to life and foster opportunities for like-minded travelers to connect. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or are joining us on a trip for the very first time, we invite you to explore the globe with Traveling Owls and transform your dreams into reality.
Electronic brochures for each trip are posted below as they become available.
