President's Lecture Series, May 5:
Robert Langer to speak at Rice (Rice News)

Robert "Rocky" Burton McAshan III (1946-2025):
On February 18, Rocky McAshan passed away.  A native Houstonian, he earned a BA from Rice in 1968 and a MBA from UT in 1972.  Suffering polio at a young age, he lost the use of his legs.  He still led a full life, enjoying a long career at Frost Bank and performing at the Hill Country Arts Foundation. “His adventurous spirit even led him to scuba diving, indoor skydiving, ziplining and snow skiing”.  And he was a guest professor at Rice for one year.  Click here for the obituary.
