Rice University Hispanic Heritage Month kickoff celebration

On Sunday, September 27, our committee will bring approximately 150–200 Rice students, faculty, staff, and community partners together for an afternoon of music, food, celebration, and meaningful connection. We are reaching out to a select group of Houston leaders and organizations whose work helps strengthen our Rice community, and we hope you will be among those our community has the opportunity to meet.

This year's theme, “Florecemos Con Comunidad: We Bloom with Community,” is rooted in a simple idea: we are stronger when we know one another, support one another, and create opportunities for one another to flourish.
