About the Rice Standard

The Rice Standard is an independent monthly magazine serving the community of Rice University in Houston, Texas. The Standard was founded in 2007 as a general interest publication to provide an outlet for the work of students and the community. While other periodical publications exist on campus, the Standard is the only monthly publication at Rice that is intended to publish works such as longer essays, reporting, poetry and literature, and artwork.

The Rice Standard is independently funded and privately operated. We are neither supported by nor affiliated with Rice University. All content represents the opinions of the writers and not necessarily the opinions of the editorial staff.
