Houston Business Journal has named Rice University one of Houston’s best places to work for four consecutive years. We think they’re onto something — and so do our faculty and staff, who enjoy Rice’s competitive pay and benefits, including countless opportunities for personal and professional growth. Add to that a vibrant sense of community; the beautiful, tree-rich, 285-acre campus; highly skilled and talented colleagues who are passionate about their work; and Rice’s strong commitment to bettering the world through first-class education, environmental sensitivity and path-breaking research, and you might start to think that Houston’s premier business journal is onto something, too.
For the first time in school history, Rice University has more than 1,000 international students on campus. That's reason to celebrate. The institution will mark the occasion by hosting a series of intercultural and interscholastic activities for International Education Week. From a "Mini Soccer World Cup" to an international Wii party, find out what events and activities are being planned.
