Big Owl/Little Owl Program (BOP)

A mentorship program that connects small groups of Rice undergraduates with medical students, physicians, and residents. Meetings are usually held monthly in a casual setting, promoting discussion of medical issues and topics outside of academics such as lifestyle, aspirations, and the reality of being a medical student or physician. This semester, meetings will occur primarily in-person on Rice campus. Our meetings are from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. The current dates for our Spring meetings are:

• Tuesday, February 7th - Small Group Meeting
• Thursday, March 9th - Small Group Meeting
• Thursday April 13th - Texas Medical School Admissions Panel

If you are interested in attending one of our small group meetings, we will be sending out interest forms throughout the semester via the RPMS Listserv.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the BOP Coordinators, Emily Wang (ew29@rice.edu) and Prisha Jonnalagadda (pcj2@rice.edu), for more information.
