Rice Welcomes New International Graduate Students at Orientation

Rice's campus was buzzing this summer as students in the Rice Emerging Scholars Program (RESP) wrapped up six weeks of challenging courses, hands-on projects and community-building. The end-of-program events and presentations marked the culmination of a summer designed to prepare incoming first-year students — particularly those from under-resourced high schools — for the pace, depth and rigor of STEM majors at Rice.
