Need Advising?
Maria Johnson, Director of Advising, Registration & Records, is happy to meet with you. To make sure that she is able to meet with you be sure to schedule an appointment. There are phone and in-person meeting options available.
In order to best represent our school, we ask that you be sure to attend events (or cancel your RSVP) for events you have registered for. Many companies keep tabs on their RSVP lists, so it’s best to always put your best foot forward when it comes to managing your RSVPs for events. Additionally, it can be difficult, sometimes even impossible, to re-schedule an interview you were invited for on campus, particulary within 48 hours of the interview. If you think you might not be able to make an interview, inform one of our Employer Relations & Recruiting staff members immediately.

Input Regarding Rice Business Coffee Shop
As many of you are aware, Rice Business School will soon be opening a coffee shop (tentatively opening Summer/Fall of 2019). As a part of the planning process, a group of 1st year FTMBA students are developing a marketing plan for the coffee shop. Part of the marketing research is to understand the needs of the coffee shop customers (YOU!), and how to best serve those needs.
To help the students complete their marketing plan, we are asking the JGSB community to please take this marketing survey. The survey will take approximately 3 – 5 minutes and the results will hopefully, be used to influence the design and offerings for the Rice Business Coffee Shop for us all to enjoy! The survey will be available to take until Friday, November 9th.
Thank You in advanced for taking the time to complete this survey. We are excited for the opening of Rice Business School’s very own coffee shop! Please direct any questions or concerns in regard to the marketing survey to 1st year FTMBA student Norma Torres Mendoza, Norma.M.Torres@rice.edu.

Zoom Accounts
Many of you have been requesting the use of a “Pro” Zoom account (so that you can meet for longer than 45 minutes). Unfortunately the university does not have enough Zoom licenses for each student that requests one. We are working on a solution and will communicate this in the next week or so. In the short term, please plan to extend the free version as needed. If you have questions please reach out to our Solutions Support Team at help@rice.edu.
