Good hedges make good neighbors

Rice and Houston. Houston and Rice. It's a synergistic relationship that's been mutually beneficial for more than 95 years. And, as we approach our next 100 years of service, we have renewed and strengthened our commitment to engaging the Houston community. As one of the nation's premier research universities, we look at our home city as the fourth-largest laboratory in the U.S., and we're committed to making it central to student discovery through community-based research and learning experiences. We're also committed to taking care of it just like we do our own internationally acclaimed facilities. After all, isn't that what being a good neighbor is about?
