Relive O-Week 2019 for new students at Rice University

Each incoming class of freshmen begins its Rice experience with a weeklong orientation, O-Week for short, that introduces the new students to the campus, culture, colleges and their classmates. Registering for classes and learning about policies is only part of the O-Week package; what makes an Owl orientation truly special is the Texas-sized greeting by fellow Rice students who wait at each residential college to greet arriving freshmen and their families with chants, cheers and a helping hand.
