Inside Rice Business: How We Earned P&Q’s Best-in-Class Student Engagement

Experience the Award-Winning Rice MBA Environment Firsthand.

Join Rice on December 1st for an exclusive evening highlighting why Poets&Quants awarded Rice Business Best in Class for Student Engagement.

George Andrews, associate dean of degree programs, will share how Rice Business puts students at the center of the MBA journey — from student-led marquee conferences and global consulting trips to “pop-up” traditions and a vibrant, supportive culture.

Following Dean Andrews’ presentation, Jessica Steptoe, assistant dean of recruiting & admissions, will moderate a discussion with an interactive panel of Rice MBA alumni about how the program’s collaborative culture, tight-knit network, and hands-on leadership opportunities prepared them for post-MBA success.

The evening will conclude with a catered networking reception, where prospects can connect one-on-one with school deans, faculty, alumni and current MBA students.
