Formed in 1913 as Rice's first alumni-based support group for Rice
Athletics, the "R" Association consists primarily of Rice men’s and women’s
letterwinners. (Merit-based honorary memberships may on occasion be considered
by the "R" Association board.) Former letterwinners are invited to volunteer
with the "R" Association by assisting with annual events, including Hall of
Fame inductions, a golf tournament, Scholar Athlete Banquet, and All Sports
Banquet. The "R" Association board also offers opportunities for volunteer
participation.
The organization has historically provided financial
assistance to Rice Athletics within the parameters of the NCAA and has provided
scholarships to graduating senior athletes. The "R" Association has
consistently sponsored various fund-raising events, athletic awards programs
and scholastic banquets on behalf of Rice Athletics.
In Fall 1970 the
“R” Assocation established the Rice Sports Hall of Fame, recognizing individual
accomplishments in all intercollegiate sports by athletes who have been out of
school at least 15 years. Additions are made each year by the “R” Association’s
selection committee.
This association was incorporated on June 12, 1981
as a non-profit Texas corporation and is currently the only entity not under
the accounting and financial control of Rice University which generates revenue
on behalf of Rice.
