2. Lovett’s Vision for Life-Long Learning Education does not begin with the university, nor does it end in the university. It is a matter of life, the whole span of life.”– Edgar Odell Lovett “

3. From Lovett to V2C Rice’s “Vision for the Second Century” states: • “We must fully engage with the city of Houston – learning from it and contributing to it – as a successful partnership with our home city is an essential part of our future.” • “We must continue to make available our tremendous educational and cultural resources to the many thousands of Houstonians who come to our campus, whether it be for continuing studies and business education – including professional development to help Houstonians advance in their current careers or begin new ones.”

4. Mission of the Glasscock School of Continuing Studies: To advance Rice University’s longstanding commitment to educational outreach by providing lifelong personal and professional development opportunities to the broader community.
