An evening that celebrates and supports Fondren Library

The Friends of Fondren Library Gala brings together alumni, friends, and supporters for one of Rice's most anticipated events. The evening celebrates the ideas, scholarship, and creativity that define the university while honoring individuals who contributions have made a lasting impact.
