There are no exclusionary social clubs at Rice. All students are welcome and encouraged to participate in more than 200 student organizations, including performance, media, athletic, academic, religious, cultural and political groups. With this full range of extracurricular options, students can pursue existing passions or expand their horizons by trying something new. 

Outstanding cultural and educational events await you at Rice. Whether you're into theater or politics or you’re a spectator or performer, we’ve got it.

The Shepherd School of Music presents numerous concerts each year, and the student-run Rice Players produce first-rate theatrical productions.

If attending a lecture is more your thing, the Baker Institute for Public Policy and the Office of the President bring stimulating speakers in a wide range of topics to campus each year.

The calendar of events is an extensive listing of daily events and programs on campus.

Barbara and David Gibbs Recreation Center

A wide array of recreational programs and services has been created and are offered in an effort to increase knowledge about and provide opportunities for the development of healthy behavior patterns. All are designed to encourage a lifetime of health and wellness for the students, faculty and staff of Rice University by promoting the physical, social and emotional benefits of physical activity.

Established as a university-wide arts initiative by President David Leebron in 2008, Rice Public Art presents and commissions public artworks, exhibitions and programs that underscore the caliber and spirit of scholarly inquiry at Rice University. The collection, which reaches across the Rice campus, is always free and available to students, visitors and the general public

Broadly recognized excellence and distinction.

Year in and year out, our graduates bring the skills, morals and attributes they developed as student athletes at Rice into their professional lives, whether they continue their careers in the professional sports arena or represent the newest generation of CEOs, doctors, lawyers, educators, consultants, entrepreneurs or managers.
