<p>Just to add some notes to the diversity of Rice. I attended the New Hispanic Student Reception today and heard some numbers from the freshmen class. Students who have identified themselves as Latino/Hispanic compose of 20% (~200) of the freshmen class(~1,000). And they come from more states and countries than ever before. This 20% is great news and I doubt there are but a handful of top universities that can say they have this.</p>
