Why do you volunteer for Rice?

My three children are undergraduate students at Rice. I want to give back to Rice, stay engaged with the undergraduate programs, and add value to the environmental and health science programs.

What do you enjoy most about volunteering at Rice?

I really enjoy working with the people who organize my volunteering activities at the Development and Alumni Relations office. Also, I enjoy meeting with undergraduate students and offering advice on career considerations.

What's a fun Rice fact about you?

I have triplets (rising sophomores) at Rice - the first triplets ever to be admitted to Rice.

Why should others volunteer for Rice?

I tell parents that volunteering is an excellent way to give back to Rice and become engaged in your child's college education. Rice is a premier institution of higher learning, where students can benefit from your professional experience. Share your experiences with Rice students and help them enrich their education with all the valuable lessons from your career.
