In October 2024, Joyce Brown started her new position as the administrator for the Program in Jewish Studies. We are excited to learn more about Joyce and welcome her as the newest member of our team.
I am a native Houstonian and received a bachelor degree in business administration from LeTourneau University in Houston.
Before joining Rice, I had a long tenure at MD Anderson Cancer Center, where I learned extensive administrative skills.
I joined Rice in 2023 and in October 2024 became the program administrator for Rice’s Program in Jewish Studies. In this role, I support faculty and students, particularly the Jewish Studies Student Association. I also have various administrative functions, and I serve as the point of contact for the program.
Even though I am still new in my position, I am enjoying all aspects of the program, particularly how Jewish studies is so interdisciplinary across campus.
In my spare time, I do outreach for local women’s shelters and facilities, and I find working at Rice and volunteering my time to be very rewarding.
