In 18 years, Rice University president transformed the campus while preserving its culture
to add historical context and relocate his statue from the center of Rice’s main courtyard to a location on its perimeter - and despite some criticism, Leebron said he felt the change properly reflects the history of the school.
Trustees were drawn to his leadership as dean of Columbia Law School, but also to his intellect and commitment to excellence, said Jim Crownover, leader of the presidential search committee. The school invested in the medical field through the BioSciences Research Collaborative with the Texas Medical Center, and it founded the Kinder Institute for Urban Research, which conducts the annual Houston Area Survey and other studies that delve into Houston’s urban issues.
“I think as people saw, we could grow and maintain our culture,” Leebron said. “We could reach out more into the city and people still could feel that the campus was kind of a special and safe place for them.”Rice University took new shape under Leebron, with public art and buildings frequently under construction.
The university’s endowment grew to $8.1 billion by the end of the 2021 fiscal year, according to the institution. Since 2004, Leebron launched two major fundraising campaigns, with the latest already amassing more than half of itsResearch awards poured in as well, with $181.9 million and 921 awards received in 2021, the university administration reported. That’s an increase from $73.9 million and 596 awards in 2004.
