Lunch & Lead

Lunch and Lead sessions are held every semester, and focus on a unique leadership topic designed to enhance students’ skills and knowledge. Past topics have ranged from membership retention to effective delegation. Sessions are open to any current Rice student, faculty, or staff. Lunch is provided on a first come, first served basis while supplies last! Please RSVP on OwlNest for upcoming Lunch and Lead programs.
