When Robert Kempner arrived at Rice Business, he wasn’t sure what his next career move would be. A conversation with the president of the Rice Business Finance Association encouraged him to explore investment banking — a path he hadn’t previously considered. With support from classmates and career advisors, Robert developed the skills and confidence to pursue opportunities in IB. The right conversation and support system can change everything.
“The skills I'm learning at Rice give me the confidence to do new things. The Career Development Office helped me develop my resume and frame my background in a way that resonated well with employers. I couldn't have gotten this internship without them.”

Rice gave me a lot of opportunities. From the resume critique sessions to connections with alumni, the classes — the way professors talk to students and get students talking to each other is unique. Rice made my career transition possible.
Rice MBA
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, which creates an environment that feels both high-performing and genuinely welcoming.

As I pivot into investment banking, I can affirm that the Rice MBA has enhanced my technical skills, soft skills and career ambitions.
