It was a pleasure to see so many of you on campus for Families Weekend at the end of October. I hope you enjoyed connecting with other Rice families and getting a taste of what the Rice experience is all about. If you could not attend, I look forward to seeing you next year — Families Weekend is a wonderful way to learn about your student’s experiences and the many resources that support them throughout their undergraduate journey.
