Alumni Success Stories

Highlighting the impact of Rice Asian alumni around the world.

Cindy Dinh

VP of Community Relations

Being part of RUCAA has reconnected me with Rice and has given me an opportunity to mentor students, including many who are first-generation college students like myself.

Tania Min

VP of Outreach & Communications

RUCAA helped me reconnect with Rice in ways I didn’t think were possible. The mentorship program gave me a chance to guide current students and also meet other alumni across the world.

Francis Li

Beijing Chapter Leader

Thanks to RUCAA, I was able to attend events in Houston and even connect with alumni networks when I moved abroad — it truly feels like a global family.
