Annual Giving
Rice Fund Volunteers are ambassadors for the university, making important connections and encouraging classmates and peers to participate in the university’s tradition of giving back.
Volunteer positions within the Rice Fund provide several great ways to stay in touch with your classmates and peers while making a positive impact on the current student experience at Rice.
Alumni Affinity Group Volunteers
Rice Alumni affinity networks are formed around shared identities, interests or professional paths. These volunteer-led groups offer opportunities for meaningful engagement, networking and celebration with the Rice community through events and programs. For a list of established affinity networks, please visit the alumni website. Complete the volunteer application, and a Rice staff member will connect you with a network leader.
Rice Business Alumni Volunteer Opportunities
Rice Business provides several opportunities to support our alumni community. These include but are not limited to: calling prospective students who have been admitted to Rice Business, supporting Career Development Office events and initiatives, representing Rice Business to regional communities outside Houston, being a part of Reunion Committee to encourage classmates to register for Alumni Reunion Weekend, and more.
Alumni Recognition Committee
The Alumni Recognition Committee helps foster a culture of appreciation across the Rice community by sending thoughtful, hand-written notes that acknowledge professional and personal accomplishments and milestones. Through these personal messages, volunteers help ensure that alumni, faculty, staff and current students of the university feel seen, valued, and connected. This opportunity offers a simple yet impactful way to strengthen relationships, celebrate the people who make Rice exceptional, and support a welcoming and engaged community.
