Rice students host Project Pumpkin fall festival for Houston children

Rice students shared the autumn spirit with Houston-area children Oct. 29 during Project Pumpkin, an event sponsored by the Rice Student Volunteer Program, with support from the Rice Women’s Club of Rice University and the Center for Civic Leadership. Held in the Central Quad, Project Pumpkin was a fun afternoon of face painting, games, pumpkin painting and more. Nearly 20 student organizations and residential colleges participated, with more than 100 student volunteers hosting booths and guided tours around campus. (Photos by Lynn Zhu and Joyce Moon)
