Welcome to the first edition of the Rice: The Next Century Campaign special section in Sallyport. As we remain focused on our aggressive $500-million goal, we are pleased to share some touching stories that clearly demonstrate the tremendous impact that campaign donations have made on students, faculty and staff, programs, and facilities. We encourage your feedback.
