When the Rice Center for Engineering Leadership (RCEL) was formed back in 2010 with a $15 million gift from John ’73, ’74 and Anne ’75 Doerr, the goal was to create the next generation of engineers who exhibited strong analytic and leadership abilities. It would also educate the next class of idea-makers and future CEOs and managers who could emulate the strengths of the center’s founders: entrepreneurship, collaborative vision and a dedication for giving back.
