Lunch and Listen sessions allow community members to engage in meaningful conversations, pose insightful questions, and build stronger connections within Operations, Finance, & Support (OF&S). These conversations help us strengthen our collective knowledge and explore collaborative ways to drive positive change across the university.

In the Lunch and Listen Sessions with OF&S Leaders, a member of the OF&S leadership team will join Kelly for lunch and conversations with the Rice community, where faculty and staff can engage more deeply by bringing forward their ideas, questions, and concerns specific to each leader’s domain. OF&S leaders are committed to providing an unparalleled customer experience and deeply value the feedback and partnership of the community to identify and illuminate opportunities to improve service to the campus community. Space is limited to 15 people.
