Nothing makes Rice University’s signature blue pop like a pink background. On March 1, Owls gathered on the Entrance 1 pathway to witness the annual blooms on the azaleas that dot the area. The afternoon event featured splendid weather, a DJ, free cupcakes for the first 100 attendees dressed in Rice blue and photo opportunities set amidst the flowering, brightly colored plants.
Sammy the Owl also took time out of his schedule to stop and smell the flowers and pose with attendees, which included many four-legged friends in addition to the Rice community.
