Go Owls -- beat Kansas!

Two updates:

1. A nice plug from Dean Ned Thomas, in his weekly message today to the School of Engineering:

Quote:Quiz: What is the oldest, biggest and best Rice Alumni unit?
The REA is inviting all engineering alumni, faculty, staff, family and friends to join them for a pre-game tailgate on Saturday as they celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the REA! They want to have a big crowd to cheer on the Owl football team as they take on the Kansas University Jayhawks. The tailgate begins at 4:30. Register online at https://online.alumni.rice.edu/default.a...ntID=1721. Tailgate tickets are free for REA sponsors, students and children. I'll be there, so should YOU!

2. The engineering students will be at the tailgate selling cool RICE t-shirts, with a story behind them:

And let me add that four of the members of the AD Search Committee are engineers: two alumni (including an Outstanding Engineering Alumna), one student and one faculty member.

Rice Engineering rocks!

And you can buy one of these awesome T-shirts!

If I make it over to the tailgate this weekend, I might just have to buy one or two.

Can't wait to see everyone! Looks like we will have a Dean, an AD, and a Trustee or two as well. You can register on-site if you didn't do so in advance. Go Owls!

George, I posted elsewhere that I am not coming to the game, and thus won't make this event either. Sounds like a great event.
