Topic: Building unity and respect for diversity through open community talksWhen & Where: Fridays at 12:00 PM in Miner Lounge at Rice UniversityWho Runs It: Community Facilitators working in residential colleges on campusComing Soon: Details for the 2025-2026 school year will be shared soonSource: Rice University Community Facilitators program
Rice University's Community Facilitators bring students together through honest, open conversation. Their flagship program — Dialogues on Community at Rice — runs on Friday lunchtimes and welcomes the whole campus. Whether you want to share a perspective or just listen, there's a seat for you.
Community Facilitators are trained students who lead the Dialogues on Community at Rice series. Each session covers a different cultural or social topic and is open to everyone on campus. Facilitators also work inside individual residential colleges and can step in to help address concerns that come up in campus life.
Show up to a Friday dialogue with an open mind — no prep needed. If a specific topic matters to your residential college community, reach out to a Facilitator who programs in your college. Keep an eye out for 2025–2026 scheduling announcements from the Rice Multicultural Center (MC) so you can plan ahead.

This program connects to broader campus inclusion efforts at Rice University. If you are interested in diversity, residential college life, peer leadership, or cross-cultural dialogue, the Community Facilitators program is a natural fit alongside other Multicultural Center offerings.
College life gets richer when people across backgrounds actually talk with each other — not just past each other. These dialogues create a low-pressure space to explore cultural and social topics, build mutual respect, and strengthen the sense of community on campus.
