Recruiting season begins with connection, and Early Networking Night offers employers an opportunity to engage with Rice Business MBA students from the very start of the fall semester. Limited space available so be sure to register early!
Designed as an open-format networking event, the evening focuses on authentic conversation and relationship building in a relaxed, approachable setting. There are no presentations or formal programming, just meaningful interactions between employers and students exploring internship and full-time opportunities.
Employers will have the opportunity to meet both first- and second-year MBA students, learn more about their interests and experiences, and begin building connections that can continue throughout the recruiting cycle.
To create a more personal and productive experience, employer participation is intentionally limited. This allows for stronger conversations, easier engagement, and greater visibility throughout the evening.
We are grateful to Phillips 66 for sponsoring this year’s event and supporting opportunities that bring employers and Rice Business talent together early in the academic year.
Early Networking Night is often one of the first opportunities students have to interact with employers each fall, making it an ideal setting to introduce your organization, share insights about your team and culture, and begin building relationships ahead of the busy recruiting season.
👉 Register today to secure your spot and meet the next generation of Rice Business leaders.
