Crystal Maxwell

The knowledge I gained at Rice catapulted me to where I am now in my career. I learned things that I didn't even know I didn't know. I think back to the Applied Finance course all the time.

Robert Kempner - Rice MBA

The Career Development Office helped me develop my resume and frame my background in a way that resonated well with employers. The CDO gives you a seat at the table, not just a foot in the door. I couldn't have gotten this internship without them.

I expected a strong academic program and great recruiting opportunities. I didn’t anticipate just how tight-knit the culture would be. Everyone I’ve met has been eager to share insights, make introductions and offer guidance.
