As members of Rice Finance, undergraduates have the opportunity to collaboratively invest a real portion of the University's endowment. We work to provide a practical and goal-oriented introduction to the world of finance and financial management for all our members. By giving students the chance to make real financial decisions, we teach lessons that can only be learned outside the classroom. Our members know how to work as part of a team, and each member learns to communicate effectively in a boardroom environment.
We aim to educate through collaboration, employing critical thinking skills gained in the classroom to achieve real financial goals. We welcome students from all levels of experience and from all backgrounds, and there are numerous opportunities available for professional and personal development. We regularly invite speakers, including alumni working in the finance industry, professors and guest lecturers at the Jones School of Business, and professionals from Houston and beyond.
