Welcome to PMBA Kickoff

Hello Class of 2022,

We hope you are all enjoying the last of your summer and that you are ready to jump feet-first into life in the Rice MBA Program. It’s going to be a fabulous two years!

As all of you know by now, we are having a mandatory, remote-delivered Professional MBA Kick-Off on July 17th. Evening students will be split into two groups for Saturday, July 18th. We have had many of you asking about the details of the event, so let us try and shed some light onto what the day will look like.

First and foremost, we are extremely excited to welcome you all. Kickoff will give you an opportunity to meet our dean’s, learn about and meet your new classmates, as well as meet and become familiar with all of the Program staff before you arrive for Launch in just a couple of weeks. 

Your Kickoff schedule is attached. Please note that all sessions are mandatory and remote. You will receive an email later this week that will include the links for each of your sessions.

If you have any questions regarding Kickoff, please contact Andrew Shaw at Andrew.Shaw@rice.edu.
