Are there any campus events that you recommend potential candidates attend to get to know Rice University’s community and culture?

Erin R. asked a question to Kiana P.

Hello, Kiana, How are you? My name is Erin Rosemond, and I applied for the study abroad advisor position. Currently, I am trying to learn more about the community and culture of Rice. I attended an AI informational session at the Fondren library that was open to the public. Are there any campus events that you recommend potential candidates attend to get to know Rice University’s community and culture? Do you recommend that I contact a study abroad advisor to ask them if there are any events with the study abroad department that I may visit to learn more? Thank you for your help. Erin Rosemond

    Hello Erin, 

    Thank you for reaching out! 

    I would encourage you to explore Rice’s campus events calendar, along with public events hosted by our various departments, student organizations, and campus centers. These are great ways to experience the university’s vibrant and collaborative community and get a better sense of campus life. They can also be wonderful opportunities to meet members of the Rice community and build connections along the way.

    You are also welcome to contact the Study Abroad office to inquire about any upcoming events or programs that may be open to the public. These could provide additional insight into the office's work, the team's approach to supporting students, and their role within the broader Rice community.

    I hope this helps, and I wish you the best as you continue exploring Rice!
