Rice Business Black Alumni Gateway
The Rice Business Black alumni network is abound with talented and accomplished professionals across industries and sectors. As the network grows each year, there is an increased desire to intentionally connect students with the black alumni network. To address this need, Black Business Student Association (BBSA) and Black alumni leadership worked together to launch the Rice Business Black Alumni Gateway, a website featuring an easy-to-search directory of Black alumni profiles by industry and career, along with highlights of Black excellence, leadership and accomplishment.
