Rice University

At Rice, we are in constant pursuit of wisdom and commit ourselves to endless exploration.

Ten weeks of research, discovery and plenty of problem-solving led to this. Undergraduate researchers spent the summer working alongside Rice faculty and research teams to share what they discovered at the Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium. https://t.co/iIWIcVpRWe

Health is about more than what happens at the doctor’s office. A new Rice minor gives students a closer look at how biology, behavior and the world around us all play a role. https://t.co/66awfNDEs2

New faces, fresh perspectives and plenty of possibilities ahead. Rice welcomed its newest faculty members to campus as we kick off another academic year. https://t.co/7s29qhSkjl

And just like that, O-Week is a wrap. 🦉💙 From the biggest celebrations to the moments in between, Rice’s newest Owls packed a lot into their first week on campus.
Now it’s your turn: What was the best part of O-Week?

First-day transportation, Rice style. 🦉

President DesRoches is back behind the wheel, giving Owls a lift to class and kicking off a new semester along the way. Let the semester begin!

Kick off the Class of 2030’s Rice journey with a warm welcome. A gift to The Rice Fund supports their experience from day one. This week every new Owl gets a reusable fan to remind them of the donor community cheering them on. Donate: https://t.co/UBKkHGpFtY

🦉 Before classes begin, our newest Owls took a moment to consider everything that lies ahead. University leaders shared insights with the Class of 2030 as they prepare to learn from leading scholars, explore new ideas and start shaping their own paths here at Rice.

Rally together. Soar together. 🦉 Rice Rally brought all the energy and Owl pride!

This is what welcoming a new class to Rice looks like. 🦉📷Music, dancing, games, laughter and plenty of Rice spirit filled the Quad as our newest Owls came together to celebrate, connect and have a little fun. Here’s to all the memories, friendships and moments still to come.

🦉 A time-honored tradition unlike any other. Matriculation marks the moment each incoming class officially joins the Rice community. Yesterday, the Class of 2030 walked through the Sallyport, beginning their journey as Owls. Welcome home!

[Rice University @RiceUniversity]

We’re grateful to Trustee Jim Whitehurst ’89 and his wife, Lauren, for their transformative $25M gift establishing the Sallyport Fellows Program at Rice! This initiative will expand support for first-gen and limited-income students starting in fall 2027. https://t.co/jsfoV9LvU0

🦉📦 Move-In is more than the start of a new academic year. It’s a time for new beginnings, renewed connections, and the return of the traditions that make Rice feel like Rice.

Welcome home, Owls. Here’s to everything the year ahead will bring. 💙
