Hundreds of admitted students and their families flocked to Rice campus April 8 and 11 for the first in-person Owl Days since 2019.

Rice’s Office of Admission rolled out the red carpet for the newest members of the university community with info sessions, games and activities galore, including an outdoor mixer where admitted students got to meet Rice President David Leebron and other campus leaders as well as guided tours across campus and the city.
