“I can’t believe this is even being considered. Shock, disbelief and anger. I feel betrayed.

An undergrad education is much more than taking a bunch of courses and learning the material. I consider my experience at KTRU some of the best times I had at Rice. And looking back – the skills I learned there have served me just as well as the standard education that I got from coursework. Those experiences changed me immeasurably by providing a hub for a group of people that supported creativity, valued community and community service, and supporting working towards a shared goal. What better way to learn how to make it in the world?

I sincerely hope that this wonderful institution isn’t lost for the future students of Rice.”
