Why I Give Back to Rice Business
My Rice MBA helped launch my entrepreneurial career in 2006, when I co-founded my own company. That experience changed the direction of my professional life and created opportunities for my family. I have always wanted to give back to the school that helped make that possible.
Rice Business gave me the confidence, business acumen, and credentials to pursue my goals. I have seen firsthand how much a Rice MBA means in the business world. I will never forget a client telling me, after awarding me a contract, “You had me at Rice MBA!” It was a moment that reminded me how valuable my education has been.
I am proud to be a Rice alumnus. Even as I reflect on what I have accomplished, I remain humble and grateful, because I can always look back on my MBA as a starting point. I am also excited about the future of Rice Business, especially the new Virani Undergraduate School of Business and its incredible facility. It is inspiring to see how the school continues to grow.
Rice has an amazing faculty and a culture that is second to none. The skills, relationships, and resources available here can help students and alumni pursue their aspirations. My advice is simple: take advantage of every opportunity and get involved.
I support Rice Business because I know what this education can make possible. Giving back is my way of showing gratitude and helping future students build their own paths to success.
Your support can help launch the next Rice Business success story.

I’ve always believed that if you’ve been fortunate enough to climb a ladder, you have a responsibility not just to leave it behind for those who follow, but to make it a little taller, a little sturdier, and maybe even put some flashing lights on it so more people can find it. That’s what supporting Rice Business means to me.
