Glasscock School Photo Contest seeks shutterbugs to capture spirit of Rice

Deadline for entry is March 23

How do you see Rice? The Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies wants to know.

As Rice marks its centennial this year, the Glasscock School is celebrating the unique photographic opportunities the campus provides — from the traditional and iconic to the unexpected and extraordinary — with the Glasscock School Photography Contest.

The photography contest seeks submissions that capture the spirit of Rice University. Members of the Rice community and the public can submit photos of campus, taken outdoors as can be seen by the public.
