Welcome to IncognitO-Week!

Sid Richardson College O-Week 2026

Mission Statement

At IncognitO-Week 2026, our mission is to help each New Student of Sid Richardson College solve the mystery of transitioning to life at Rice University. We know that even Sherlock Holmes can’t decipher every riddle on his own: during O-Week, you’ll tap into a cohesive network of Sidizens who hold the clues to help you thrive at and beyond your new home base.

Out in the field, these clues will lead you to a diverse community of academic detectives who are eager to support you in your unique endeavors. As with any mystery, there may be red herrings and dead ends, but you’ll also make breakthroughs and life-long connections – we’re confident that our Coordinators, Advisors, and A-Team will be there to guide you to resources that help piece this puzzle together.

We know your unique skills and perspectives will enhance our community; with you on our team, there’s no case we can’t crack. We can't wait for you to join the Sid Rich family and Rice University!
