More than 100 prospective students set up camp at Rice Feb. 18-20, exploring classes and culture on
campus during Vision Weekend 2007. Many participants have already been offered admission to the
university, and all Vision Weekend participants were invited in an effort to increase the presence of
underrepresented minorities in Rice's Class of 2011. Vision Weekend has been a Rice tradition since 1994, and
historically, over 75 percent of Vision participants choose to matriculate at Rice.
