It is always gratifying when alumni who achieved considerable success in their professional lives return to Rice and bring their skills to bear on the university's behalf. We can count on them to maintain Rice's leadership in teaching and in research as we prepare for the university's second century. Rice's Board of Governors is comprised of seven trustees, eight term members and four alumni members.
Trustees serve for an unlimited period of time.
Term and alumni members are appointed by the board to serve four-year terms.
