Student Center Homecoming

SAVE THE DATE!

Rice Homecoming Week 2026 is November 9–15, 2026

The Rice Program Council (RPC) coordinates a series of events during Homecoming week, including Homecoming Kickoff, lead by the Traditions committee, and Esperanza, lead by the Socials committee! If your organization or department is hosting an event that is open to undergraduate students to celebrate Rice Homecoming, we want to add it to our calendar! We'll share an event submission form link soon. 

For more undergraduate events during Homecoming week, please visit OwlNest. 

Most Outstanding Student Award

In Fall 2025, RPC introduced the "Most Outstanding Student" award! One undergraduate student is selected through a process of nominations and voting. The Outstanding Student will be announced at the Homecoming football game on November 14, 2026. More information about the nomination process and voting will be shared soon. 

For more information regarding undergraduate homecoming events or the Most Outstanding Student award, please contact Heather Bennett Mallory at hb67@rice.edu.
