Rice Admin Forum: Empowering Collaboration and Community

Admin Forum

Rice’s Admin Forum fosters connections, information sharing, and collaboration among professionals across campus. The forum often features guest speakers, including campus leadership, who share information on special topics. The forum is intended for all campus community members and provides an opportunity to gather, learn, and engage.  

Over the past year, Admin Forum hosted  Provost Dittmar, who discussed Rice's Strategic Plan, Paul Cherukuri, who shared details on Rice's innovation plans, and Ramamoorthy Ramesh, who delved into the future of campus research.
