Take Flight Alumni Ambassadors (TFAAs)

The Take Flight Alumni Ambassadors (TFAA) are current Rice students who were Take Flight students at Lone Star College or San Jacinto College before completing their associate’s degrees and transferring to Rice. TFAAs serve as hosts and mentors for Take Flight students when they visit campus and help to foster community for Take Flight students and the Take Flight alumni and transfer student communities here at Rice.

The TFAAs are here to serve as hosts any time a Take Flight student plans to come to Rice’s campus. Check out the TFAA profiles below and submit a request for a TFAA host if you’ll be on campus!

If you have a question or would like to reach out directly, please contact the TFAAs at takeflight@rice.edu.
