Empowering Rice Women

Our Mission

The Rice Business Women’s Organization (RBWO) exists to empower, connect, and build lasting communities for graduate women and allies.

We bring together people from diverse backgrounds to build confidence, share resources, and amplify women’s presence in spaces where they are underrepresented.

Through meaningful connections, mentorship, and collaboration with other organizations, we create opportunities that help members grow as leaders, leave a legacy of inclusion, and ensure every person feels they truly belong.

The Next Generation of Female Leaders

We are committed to helping women unleash their full potential as innovators and leaders in the workplace. At Rice Business, we hold your ambitions with equal reverence and show you how to make them a reality.
