Letter from the Provost: Welcome and good luck, new Owls

Welcome to Rice! We look forward to guiding you as you experience this special place that encourages students to grow in and outside of the classroom. The culture on campus is built to support you through your successes and challenges as you achieve existing goals and realize new ones. That’s the beauty of Rice — you will be exposed to new opportunities that you didn’t even know were possible.
