Leaders from Rice University and Mexico’s Anáhuac University will unveil a new international executive education program Nov. 6 at a signing ceremony at Rice. A second ceremony will take place Nov. 16 in Mexico City.
Rice’s Jones Graduate School of Business is partnering with Anáhuac to launch the two-week international program for bilingual executives, which also marks the official launch of Anáhuac’s executive education institute.
The joint global program for executives is set to launch in spring 2024 with one week taking place at Rice and one week at Anáhuac’s campus. All participants will go through an application process and must speak both English and Spanish.
This collaborative effort was led by Peter Rodriguez, dean of Rice Business; Michael Koenig, Rice Business’ associate dean for innovative initiatives and executive director of executive education; and Jorge Miguel Fabre Mendoza, director of the Anáhuac senior management institute.

"Rice offers an incredibly supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem, filled with classmates, faculty, mentors, and alumni who are eager to advise and open doors. Whether the venture becomes a breakout success or simply an invaluable learning journey, Rice is one of the best environments to take that leap."
“Felix embodies the best of Rice Business. He leaves communities stronger than he found them, and I am confident his impact will continue well beyond our campus,” said George Andrews, associate dean of Degree Programs.
"I think part of what I’m hoping to accomplish here is to put Rice on the map for some of these firms who might not have otherwise thought of it as a place to recruit,” says Robert Dittmar, associate dean of the Virani Undergraduate School of Business.
