Alumni & Giving

Rice Computer Science alumni stay in touch via regular meet up events as well as via CS alumni social media groups and Slack. In addition, the Rice Engineering Alumni (REA) provides support to the George R. Brown School of Engineering through scholarships and grants and outstanding achievement awards, and by hosting events around the US. All Rice alumni are invited to join the Association of Rice Alumni (ARA) to stay engaged with the Rice community.

Our alumni have many stories tell. In addition to researchers, entrepreneurs, chief architects, and software and game developers, our alumni have looked beyond typical tech industry career paths to become lawyers, high school teachers, and financial planners. Whatever career path they may have chosen, one thing stays the same. Rice Computer Science graduates make a big impact on the world. 

Supporting the Department of Computer Science is a way to complete the cycle of opportunity that began with your education here. The Computer Science Endowment was established by Moshe Y. Vardi and his wife, Pam Geyer, in 2000. Discretionary funds donated by alumni and corporations allow the Computer Science Department to respond to unexpected research and educational opportunities that arise.

Establishing partnerships and collaborations with corporate, non-profit and government entities is very important to advancing research and the student experience. Many of our students enter non-academic industries after graduation. Build a connection with the Rice Computer Science Department by becoming a corporate affiliate.
