Message from the President

As alumni student athletes of Rice University you are unique.  You have excelled not only on the athletic field, but also in the classroom.  Your Rice experience will no doubt serve you well in your chosen career. 

The R Association through its stated mission puts on the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, grants scholarships for graduate study, and sponsors the Scholar Athlete Banquet, the All Sports Banquet, the Senior Breakfast and other special events as requested.  These events are paid for primarily from the R Association membership dues and interested sponsors.

As President of the R Association I want to thank you for your past support and encourage you to maintain your Annual Membership or purchase a Lifetime Membership so the Association can continue to support Rice Athletics.

 John Sylvester, President
