Get on Board.
Since 2008, Rice Business has been connecting Rice MBAs with nonprofit boards to create positive change in the Houston community. If you’re interested in all aspects of nonprofit – from fundraising to effective and thoughtful community leadership, then this is your opportunity to learn hands-on. Sit on the board of organizations like AIDS Foundation Houston, Children at Risk, Houston Zoo, SEARCH Homeless Services and more.
Diverse Backgrounds.
We call ourselves family, but we’re all different. Different opinions. Different career goals. Different cultures and backgrounds. We're one of the most diverse communities of graduate business students in the U.S. and that’s intentional, because diversity is at the heart of our collaborations and essential to our ethos. Diversity is more than numbers at Rice Business. It’s friendships that span differences. It’s what makes us feel like home.
Personally Speaking
My favorite part of the MBA experience is becoming a part of the Jones Student Association. I love to make influential change in whatever endeavor I am doing and JSA allows me to do just that.

It's amazing how easy it was for me to find a set of people I gelled really well with as my core team for case competitions. We entered a case competition put on by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and ended up flying to D.C. for the final and winning!

What gave me a sense of belonging is the clubs. I am the current president of the wine club as well as a member of the energy association. I think that through these student clubs, we’re able to take our MBA experience and really make it our own.
