Launched in Spring 2008, V.I.P. serves as a place to highlight international perspectives on a variety of topics. It is an opportunity to complete the cultural exchange; a way to showcase the wonderful wealth of cultural and traditional differences and similarities, as well as individual perspectives that our Rice international students & scholars bring to our campus.
We hope the information will provide great learning opportunities, as well as fun for Rice internationals as they share their great knowledge. Please check back often, as new topics and publications will be added.
V.I.P. Topic # 1: The Election Process As 2008 begins, so does the long and complex national election process in the USA. While the news provides so much information about this process, we rarely have the opportunity to learn more about the election process of different countries. V.I.P. Topic #1 will highlight new countries each month, as a learning tool for everyone at Rice.
