About

Your gift to the Society of Latino Alumni of Rice (SOLAR) helps us create meaningful connections and opportunities for Latinx students and alumni at Rice University.

Our Mission: SOLAR coordinates efforts to help Rice community members connect, learn, and serve. We develop engaged participants ready to lead as visible Latinx alumni while celebrating our diverse culture within an inclusive professional network.

In 2026, your support will fund:

  • Community-building events and celebrations
  • Student initiatives like HACER's serape ceremony
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Community service programs

SOLAR has grown our vibrant community through events like the Raices a Ramas Gala. Since relaunching in November 2025 with our Alumni Weekend celebration, we’ve worked to improve the breadth and quality of programming we can offer our community, which your donation will directly impact.
