Reconnect. Re-engage. Re-commit

Rice University is proudly commemorating the 60th anniversary of Black life on campus, a milestone that honors the achievements and lasting contributions of Black students, alumni, faculty, and staff. This celebration reflects both the progress made since the first Black students were admitted in the 1960s and the continued commitment to equity, inclusion, and community. It is a moment to recognize the pioneers who broke barriers, uplift the generations that followed, and look ahead to building an even stronger, more inclusive legacy for future Owls.
