We are... BLACK@RICE To the black admits of 2024.... ON BEHALF OF ALL RICE’S BLACK STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS, WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A HEARTFELT WELCOME AND CONGRATULATIONS! AS YOU EMBARK ON THIS NEW JOURNEY, WE WOULD LIKE TO OFFER A FEW WORDS OF WISDOM... BLACK RICE IS A HETEROGENEOUS COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS THAT COME FROM DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE: DIFFERENT SHADES, RELIGIONS, CULTURES, NATIONALITIES, AND ACADEMIC INTERESTS. YOU CAN FIND MANY OF THESE PEOPLE LOUNGING, SLEEPING, OR STUDYING IN OUR MULTICULTURAL CENTER, A HOME FOR MANY OF US IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. RICE IS TOUGH. IT CAN BE TOLLING ACADEMICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND SOMETIMES EVEN PHYSICALLY. ALLOW YOURSELF TO FEEL THINGS AS YOU NAVIGATE THE NEWNESS OF COLLEGE. DON’T BE AFRAID TO REACH OUT FOR HELP. WE HAVE MANY HUMAN RESOURCES IN OUR COMMUNITY SUCH AS OUR PEER ACADEMIC ADVISORS (PAA’S) WHO DEDICATE MANY HOURS TO ASSISTING FELLOW STUDENTS WITH ACADEMIC PLANNING, RICE HEALTH ADVISORS (RHA’S) WHO HAVE COMMITTED THEIR TIME TO LEARNING HOW TO BETTER SUPPORT THEIR PEERS EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY, AND THE RICE WELLBEING AND COUNSELLING CENTER FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO IMPROVE AREAS LIKE TIME MANAGEMENT, EATING HABITS, OR JUST TALK TO A COUNSELOR WHEN LIFE GETS REALLY TOUGH. ALLOW THE BLACK COMMUNITY TO BE A RESOURCE TO YOU. DON’T EVER QUESTION YOUR WORTH. YOU GOT INTO RICE AND YOU ARE BEYOND CAPABLE. YOU BELONG AT RICE UNIVERSITY AS MUCH AS ANY OTHER STUDENT!! RICE IS NOT PERFECT --NO CAMPUS IS.THERE WILL BE DAYS THAT ARE DIFFICULT, BUT THERE WILL ALSO BE DAYS THAT ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND MEMORABLE. WE HOPE THAT YOU FIND THE BLACK COMMUNITY HERE A FAMILY THAT WILL SUPPORT YOU AND LIFT YOU UP DURING YOUR TIME AT RICE. WITH LOVE AND BLACK EXCELLENCE, ALL BLACK CLUBS (ABC) Black Student Organizations.
