Return to Rice: Leadership Programs for Alumni

Rice graduates continue to be called on to lead in their fields and communities. To equip Rice Owls now leading beyond the hedges, the Doerr Institute is excited to expand leadership training to Rice alumni.

Whether you are just starting your career as an individual contributor or are an experienced manager, the Doerr Institute offers professional-quality programming to fit your needs with opportunities to connect and grow alongside other Rice alumni. To further support you and your role as a Rice graduate, we have strategically partnered with Development and Alumni Relations (DAR) at Rice to create a structure that will acknowledge a portion of your payment for leadership training at the Doerr Institute as a gift to the university. This gift contribution amount will be applied to your lifetime giving record at Rice.
