Dean's Fund for Engineering Excellence
Since the founding of the Rice Institute in 1912, engineering has been a central part of the University’s focus. Our vision is to embrace innovation and to break the boundaries of engineering inquiry as leaders in vital fields like energy research, data science, biotechnology and artificial intelligence. Our expanding scope of interdisciplinary experiences challenge our students and faculty to develop and implement solutions to global problems. We do this in an environment that encourages diversity and collaboration. With the help of our generous alumni and friends, we are able to be recognized as a leader in transformational research, unparalleled education and service to humanity.
The Dean’s Fund for Engineering Excellence allows school leadership to direct dollars to areas of highest priority and immediate need. Your support of this fund allows us to strengthen our efforts related to diversity, equity and inclusion, undergraduate research and engineering with social responsibility, to name a few. Please consider making a gift today.
If you are interested in discussing how you can make a more significant impact on engineering at Rice, or to make a gift through appreciated securities, wire transfer, Donor Advised Fund (DAF), IRA Charitable Rollover, or through a deferred gift vehicle such as a bequest, please contact a member of our engineering development team at engdev@rice.edu or by phone at 713-348-2229.
