The Rice Business Student Association for MBA@Rice (RBSAO) is a democratically-elected committee of students who represent you, your interests, and your needs to the school. RBSAO regularly hosts networking & social events, and partners with Rice staff and other organizations to provide student resources. The Executive Board is elected for a 6-month term that starts in April & October each year.
The President is our (MBA@Rice) primary representative to the university & the public, and presides over our board and extended committee.
The Vice President assists the President in leading and works closely with program administrators to resolve student issues.
The Cohort Director is the liaison between each student cohort and the board, and provides resources and support to new students.
The Treasurer is responsible for RBSAO's finances.
The Secretary is responsible for keeping and maintaining all documentation related to the organization.
RBSAO is working to build a more visible presence and gain more parity to the engagement and resources of the other MBA programs at Rice.
The Student Guide Mentorship Program is a resource provided by RBSAO to connect new students with Student Guides that are further along in the program. You can email the Cohort Director if you are interested or have questions.
Our Beyond Houston Chair is working with the Cohort Director and the rest of the Board to find ways to further involve and engage MBA@Rice students who don't live in the Houston area. If you live outside of the Houston area and you have questions on how to get more connected go ahead and send us an email.
