Life's a Mitch

Brace yourself. Winter is coming.

Sort of. In my residency, Houston has not consistently descended into the temperature range appropriate of winter. We've braved the icy previews, the tumbles into the 30s. I found the few cold, rainy days before Thanksgiving break beautiful.

Cold weather, beautiful?



Yes. Though we may grimace at the idea of abandoning indoor warmth for an atmospheric ice bath, we enjoy it. So revel in the upcoming Southern chill.

Now is the time to understand religious diversity and discrimination at Rice

In the midst of a nationwide increase in religious discrimination and hostility, particularly following the events of Oct. 7 in Israel and ensuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, there is a need to examine how Rice University students have been impacted, how they are responding and the degree to which religious tolerance, religious accommodations, and perceptions of religious discrimination at Rice have changed.

We need to diversify Rice’s foodscape

Rice students have lots to say about access to food while on and around campus.  Rice’s unique foodscape lives and breathes the school’s motto of unconventional wisdom by helping accommodate a diverse group of students.  But to a certain extent, it could benefit from a taste of conventional wisdom.  Implementing other universities’ foodscape features at Rice would benefit our students.
