Our Mission

The Wellbeing and Counseling Center supports student development and success by providing a good first point
of contact for students who want to talk to someone about solutions to their wellbeing and mental health
concerns. We envision a Rice community in which all persons develop and thrive as individuals; and who strive to
create a community of care, respect and integrity for all.

Resource Matcher or watch this introduction video.
