A Message from Dean Gorman

Orientation Week was lovely, full of happy energy and many activities as we welcomed our newest class of Owls to campus. As you know, this was followed by a tragic loss on the first day of classes. My focus, and the focus of many others at Rice, has been on helping our students through this sad time.
