Envisioning New Paths to Progress

Terrence Gee ’86, a member of the Humanities Advisory Board and the Rice Board of Trustees, and his wife, Terri Gee, are long-standing and enthusiastic champions of the humanities at Rice. Most recently, the Gees established the Dr. Anthony B. Pinn Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Center for African and African American Studies — a collaborative initiative that enables scholars from the humanities and social sciences to engage in important discussions involving race.

“Terri and I believe that understanding the complexity of our histories and identities is one of the important issues of our time, and the world needs the kind of thoughtful, interdisciplinary scholarship that Rice excels at. We are pleased to support this vision and to honor the fine work of Dr. Pinn, who helped turn the center into a reality. Our hope is that this endowment will attract the rising academic stars that will launch the center into international prominence and pave the way for even more support.”
