Are you ready to shape a new legacy at Rice—one that bridges faith, learning, and leadership right in the heart of our campus?

The Rice Christian Study Center is a bold new initiative, launching to serve Rice students like you. Here’s why your leadership is needed:

  • A Space Where Faith & Learning Flourish
    Imagine a dedicated center at Rice that isn’t just another club or church substitute, but a hub where deep questions, scholarship, and spiritual growth meet. The Study Center will host faculty-led discussions, forums, and mentoring—all to empower students to connect faith and vocation, and to think deeply, act wisely, and live faithfully.

  • Combatting Isolation, Building Belonging
    College can be one of the loneliest times, even in a place as vibrant as Rice. The Study Center will be a place rooted in community—through weekly meals, coffee hours, study sessions, and rhythms of worship—offering a spiritual home across all traditions, championing diversity and Christian unity.

  • Preparing Students for Purpose & Leadership
    In a world full of competing voices about identity and success, Rice students deserve more than platitudes. Through theological programs and practical mentorship, the Study Center will equip students in all fields—STEM, humanities, business, medicine—to discern their calling, live their faith boldly, and serve with integrity.

  • A Bridge Between Campus & Church
    Many students struggle to connect faith to everyday life or drift away during college. The Study Center will foster strong ties with local churches and ministries, connecting students to mentors, service, and friendships that last well beyond graduation.

  • A Platform for Cultural Engagement
    Rice is already home to bright minds and innovation. Picture a Study Center that brings Christian thought-leaders, artists, scientists, and community builders to campus to address urgent social questions—demonstrating faith’s relevance in every discipline and for the common good.

We Need Student Leaders Like You
Launching the Rice Christian Study Center is about more than creating programs—it’s about investing in the people and stories that will shape Rice, Houston, and the world for generations. Your voice, creativity, and passion can help build an institution that inspires hope and renewal.
