Alumni Supper Club at BCN with Barbara Bennett

Join us on Thursday, February 4, from 6:30 to 9:00 pm CT for the fourth installment of our Rice Business Alumni Supper Club series, an intimate evening designed to foster meaningful conversation, deepen connections and bring alumni together with the faculty who shaped them.

This exclusive dinner will be hosted by Barbara Bennett, Professor of Finance and Statistics, Director of MBA@Rice and Academic Director of Healthcare Initiatives. A member of the Rice Business faculty since 1994 and a three-time winner of the Jones Graduate School Excellence in Teaching Award, Dr. Bennett has taught across every one of our degree programs. She also spent 11 years as senior associate dean of degree programs, where she led the launch of the online MBA and the Hybrid MBA. Her research on investments and asset pricing has appeared in the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics and the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis. Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to engage in thoughtful dialogue, gain insights from her academic and professional experience and connect with fellow alumni.

The evening will take place at BCN Taste & Tradition, a Houston favorite for traditional and modern Spanish cuisine with a Catalan accent. With just ten seats available, guests will enjoy a thoughtfully crafted dinner and an unhurried conversation with fellow alumni in an intentional and engaging setting.

Space is limited to ensure a personalized experience. Registration closes on January 26 at 11:59 pm CT.
